- Weapon description


Lewis Gun is a machine gun featured in CrossFire.

Overview[]

The Lewis Gun is an antique machine gun from the World War I era (like CSRG M1915) with a drum-pan magazine on top and a large caliber barrel. It was one of the main machine guns of the British Army and British Empire soldiers during the time, second only to the Vickers Machine Gun.

In CrossFire, this gun has a very slow rate of fire, very high recoil, low accuracy, and very heavyweight (equivalent to most sniper rifles). But it does have very strong firepower, able to kill in 2-3 hits. It has similar draw/reload animation with the DPM, albeit a bit slower.

Advantages[]

  • Very high damage dealing.
  • High magazine capacity.
  • Average reload speed.
  • Average draw speed.

Disadvantages[]

  • Very slow rate of fire.
  • Very high recoil.
  • Very heavyweight.
  • Low accuracy.
  • Loud firing noise.

Tactics[]

PVP Modes[]

  • Hold down the trigger only at the point-blank range. Outside the close range, do not attempt to spray the gun at all.
  • At 20 meters and beyond, fire 1-2 bullets at a time for accuracy.
  • Avoid long-range engagements with this gun.
  • Due to its heavyweight, have a fast switching pistol for use while moving.

Mutation Mode[]

  • The Lewis Gun deals more damage than other machine guns in Hero Mode X, especially when the soldier damage meter is filled up. But since this gun has a slow rate of fire, make sure to aim for the head, always have backup teammates and an effective pistol (such as Mauser M1896, COP 357, USP Match variants...) in your bag in emergency cases.
  • Stay in one place and don't be afraid to fire full auto at incoming mutants.
  • Be sure to place yourself in a long and/or high area where mutants need to travel some distance before getting to you.
  • Even though it has low accuracy, tapping at long range is still possible especially when dealing with mutants with huge size like Hulk.
  • Having at least two RPK-Infernal Dragon in your bags is really useful as they would increase Lewis Gun's ammo to 137 (with 137 for reserved ammo). This combine with Lewis Gun's slow rate of fire would take longer before completely running dry. Manual reloading is also recommended to make sure the gun is loaded at its possible fullness.

Trivia[]

  • The Lewis Gun's rate of fire in real-life is 500–600 rpm, which is much higher than in-game counterpart.
  • This gun has the same firing speed with AA-12. Opposite to Lewis Gun, however, AA-12's real-life rate of fire is much lower (300 rpm) than its in-game counterpart.
  • This is the second machine gun that doesn't have a rounded number of magazine capacity, after the DPM.
  • Despite having 97 rounds per magazine, the pan magazine model used in-game is much thinner and pretty close to Lewis Gun's 47-round magazine in real life. Alternatively, it looks like the magazine of DPM, whose capacity is also 47.
  • In real-life, Lewis Gun in real-life has more variants while DPM has more feeding option depending on variants.
