The second machine pistol introduced to Combat Arms after the G18 Cobra, the Bushmaster C15 Type 97 looks deceptively like a shortened Assault Rifle, except...it's not. It's a fully automatic machine pistol. Compared to the G18 Cobra, it has the same rape-age potential due to the similar damage profiles to the Cobra, but it isn't as practical, but doubtless it will last you longer than the Cobra will with its extra 20 round magazine. Overall, if you like the G18 Cobra, try out the Bushmaster, but I can't guarantee that you'll like it due to its inconsistent performance. Otherwise, if you don't have NX, don't worry, you're not missing out on too much. The G18 Cobra is overall a better MP IMO.

Damage: 35 (same as G18 Cobra)
Damage Profile: Very similar if not identical to the G18 Cobra's
Portability: Same as M4 Super 90's
Rate of Fire: About 2 points higher than the G18 Cobra's
Accuracy: About 2~3 points higher than the G18 Cobra's
Recoil: About 3~4 points higher than the G18 Cobra's
Recoil Spread: Probably the biggest of any pistol spread in the game, probably even bigger than the Desert Eagle's
Recoil Kickback: Lower than the G18 Cobra's
Recoil Controlability: Quite Difficult, as if the G18 Cobra's recoil wasn't bad enough at middle range
Tapfire Ability: Surprisingly very good at range
Sprint Drawback: Moderate
Draw Speed: Slower than Average
Center Speed: Moderate
Reload Speed: Slower than Average, reloads like an Assault Rifle
Fire Modes: Single Fire, Full Auto
Luck: Low
Ammo Capacity: 20 Rounds in Magazine, 40 Rounds in Reserve
Key Physical Characteristics: Looks like a midget Assault Rifle, to be completely blunt.
Muzzle Noise: Low but very scratchy muzzle report
Attachment Options: None (I think, and if there are any, they're probably useless)
Fireteam Worthy? Yes
Quarantine Worthy? Overall, No due to extremely bad Portability for a pistol, G18 Cobra would be honestly better
Frank Personal Opinions: The nature of the Bushmaster as a machine pistol makes this machine pistol feel like you have a pocket Assault Rifle in your secondary slot, just like how Combat Arms a very long time ago once allowed you to carry shotguns in your secondary slot. However, only reserve the Bushmaster for very CQC battles, and tapfire at any other range. This is probably the ultimate sidearm in Combat Arms along with the G18 Cobra, but due to its inconsistent performance as a result of its terribad recoil spread, I don't recommend that anyone get it if they cannot get NX immediately, because honestly it may not even be worth your 9900 NX. It's really up to each individual player to see if they like the Bushmaster, myself quite a bit due to its full auto feature. But then again, this is just my opinion.
