Strengths

Weaknesses
- The Lewis Gun is beat by the comparable M60 at close distances due to its lower damage per second.

How to use it
- Firing should always be done while aiming down sights, unless the target is extremely close. Doing so greatly increases the accuracy of the Lewis Gun.
- A Lewis Gun user should plan ahead for a tactical reload while firing, since the reload makes for a long downtime. Usually, the Lewis Gun can outlast any opponent, meaning the opponent will be out of ammunition well before the Lewis Gun user needs to reload.
