How to Use the Submachine Gun Effectively in Combat

Aiming and Firing

The Submachine Gun (reskinned bow) fires rapidly when you hold down the attack button. Unlike the vanilla bow, you don't need to charge it fully—simply hold the button to unleash continuous fire. The iron-sight aiming animation activates when you right-click, letting you aim down the sights for better accuracy at medium range.

Ammo Requirements

You'll need arrows in your inventory to fire. These appear as gray bullets in your hotbar and first-person view, but function identically to vanilla arrows. Stock up on arrows before extended combat sessions.

Combat Tips

The rapid-fire nature makes the Submachine Gun ideal for close-to-medium range engagements. Use the iron-sight view when you need precision, but the gun's spread means hip-firing works well for aggressive pushes. Keep moving while firing to avoid becoming an easy target, and remember that arrows still obey gravity over long distances, so adjust your aim accordingly at range.
