“	Designed for use by bodyguards, the Cyclone has been adopted by Presidential Security personnel due to its excellent capability when used for suppression. In extreme circumstances, it can more than double the fire rate, discharging the magazine in a second. Average fire rate: 900 RPM. Unloads at 2000 RPM.	”

The Cyclone is an SMG that was designed to be inaccurate for suppression fire and for shooting at large groups. However its speedy rate of fire, especially in secondary mode, does wonders at close range. Assuming you can keep a bead on your enemy of course. And while it is inaccurate for precision shooting, it does have a tight pattern - shots fired adhere pretty well to a cone-shaped spread, in contrast to other inaccurate weapons like the Reaper. It is only when Magazine Discharge is used that the Cyclone has a wide cone of shot dispersion.

Trivia

• Despite the description asserting that the magazine discharges in a second, it is actually closer to 2 seconds.
• The Cyclone's unique system of stripping clips to load ammunition into the magazine and the fact that it does not eject any casings during firing would indicate that it may use Caseless ammunition.
• The Secondary mode's discharge is the fastest fire rate in the game, with 2000 RPM, outclassing the Reaper's 1800 and the RC-P120's 1100 RPM.
