| “ | A heavier, modern variation of the Pitch Gun, the Lionclaw performs well as a decent, all-around submachine gun designed as a primary firearm in urban and close-quarters combat operations. | „ |
| — In-game description |
The “Lionclaw” mc.VIII (simply known as a Lionclaw) is a Colonial Submachine Gun. It fires 9mm ammunition.
Description
It is a Colonial automatic 9mm primary weapon with low damage (27-40 
), high rate of fire (240 rounds/min), medium range (22m effective, 40m max), and 20 round magazine. It has mediocre accuracy and low recoil. It has low stability loss from movements. Walking in a straight line makes it lose barely any stability. It kills in 3 or 4 shots within its effective range.
The gun is best suited for close and medium range engagements. Its role is in-between the No.1 “The Liar” Submachine Gun (defensive) and the Fiddler Submachine Gun Model 868 (offensive).
The Soldier Uniform reduces the Lionclaw's weight by 25%.
It does not stack in the player's inventory (1 per slot).
Production
| Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
 Factory (Small Arms) | 120 x Basic Materials  | 1 Crate of 20 x “Lionclaw” mc.VIII  | 00:01:20 |
 Mass Production Factory (Small Arms) | 120 x Basic Materials | 1 Crate of 20 x “Lionclaw” mc.VIII | 00:13:20 |
Must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structures 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Mass Production Factory orders must have at least 3 crates.
Storage
It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot).It can only be stored in the stockpile of Bases (32k max).
Crates of “Lionclaw” mc.VIII can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
Tactics
The “Lionclaw” mc.VIII is a short to medium range weapon - beyond 30m its damage drops off dramatically.
Trivia
- The design and icon for the “Lionclaw” mc.VIII appear to be based off the Hungarian Danuvia 43M submachine gun, with a different shape stock and receiver.
- The reference to “The Pitch Gun” mc.V in the "Lionclaw" mc.VII's description most likely refers to a larger in-lore Colonial SMG project, not a direct evolution of one weapon to the other- these guns share virtually no design features.
