Clockwork Assault Rifle

The Clockwork Assault Rifle is a gun that fires in three-round bursts. It is sometimes dropped by the Wall of Flesh. Only the first shot out of the three will consume ammunition. The attack button can be held for repeat fire.

Tips

 * This weapon's high rate of fire and low ammo consumption make it ideal for mowing down large packs of enemies, especially if used with bullets that deal damage to multiple foes, like Crystal Bullets or Meteor Shot. This is especially useful during invasions, especially if the invaders can be grouped up in chokepoints.
 * These same strengths also make it effective against Bosses (though the Megashark is better, once acquired).
 * Despite being obtained by defeating the Wall of Flesh, this weapon is easily outclassed in terms of DPS by every Hardmode gun; generally becoming quickly obsolete.


 * This weapon is superior to other firearms in terms of fortified defense as you can conserve ammunition firing while still being supported by cannons.

Trivia

 * This weapon is part of an ongoing steam-punk themed equipment set in the game.
