Proton Gun
The Proton Gun is definitely one of the most interesting and unique weapons in the game. It's a cool laser shooter with a massive clip and great range, connecting with players on the other side of the map. It also slows players a bit when they're hit, proving to be quite useful against close-ranged weapons that won't be able to reach you because of it. The cool little Ghostbusters-themed weapon is also a surprisingly decent weapon as well, but it does have some shortcomings that you may want to consider before buying it.
Its first flaw is how much weaker the weapon gets over long distances. At close ranges, this weapon is lethal; it can kill in just a few seconds. However, it is much less fortunate the further you go away, and the damage goes down really quickly. Don't expect to be getting the speedy kills you get from short-range when you're at long distances, because the weapon kills very slowly in that situation. However, the slowing effect does do an alright job at stopping them from escaping, so it does have a niche in long ranges. The weapon is best suited to mid-close ranged maps (particularly Eastside District and the Snow Village maps) for these reasons. If the Prton Gun is giving you trouble, just keep your distance from them and beat them with a weapon that can kill faster, such as Revolver. |

TL; DR
It's a good weapon - one of the better automatic weapons - but it does have problems that you should keep in mind before purchasing the weapon.
