No.1 “The Liar” Submachine Gun

| — In-game description |
The No.1 “The Liar” Submachine Gun (simply known as a Liar) is a Warden Submachine Gun. It uses 9mm as ammunition.
Description
It is a Warden automatic 9mm primary weapon with low damage (27-40 
), good fire rate (171 rounds/min), medium to long-range (24m effective, 40m max), and a 25 round magazine. It has a mediocre accuracy and low recoil. It loses its stability somewhat slowly while moving and doesn't lose any if aiming while walking. However it is slow to stabilize which forces the shooter to carefully manage their stability unless their target is extremely close. It is best used in defensive roles, since being in a stable position allows it to fire long and relatively accurate bursts at medium-to-long ranges.
Compared to the Fiddler, the Liar is more accurate and has slightly more range but has a lower fire rate and is less agile.
The Soldier Uniform reduces the gun'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 No.1 “The Liar” Submachine Gun  | 00:01:20 |
 Mass Production Factory (Small Arms) | 120 x Basic Materials | 1 Crate of 20 x No.1 “The Liar” Submachine Gun | 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 No.1 “The Liar” Submachine Gun 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
Due to its characteristics, the No.1 “The Liar” Submachine Gun should not be used in a "Run & Gun" fashion, where the user runs from cover to cover and quickly shooting enemies. Instead, players should play defensively, either entrenched in a pillbox, or inside a trench, and take down enemies from a distance. always wait for the gun to stabilize, then slowly move toward the enemy and use cover.
Like other SMGs, it's more efficient at night.
The gun's higher stability and accuracy allows it to stay competitive at the higher end of its range. At rifle range (~28m) the Liar can still kill in 5 or 6 shots and a good stable position will ensure at least half of its bullets hit (something the Fiddler definitely cannot do). The Liar also doesn't lose accuracy when firing standing and in full cover. This means the Liar is less at a loss during the day and in open combat.
Trivia
- The No.1 “The Liar” Submachine Gun appears to be based off a combination of the Finnish Suomi KP/-31 with a top magazine like that of the Italian Beretta M1918 submachine gun.
