Weapons play a very important role in Tanki Online. The type of gun you choose will strongly affect your style of playing, whether it is aggressive lightning-fast attacks or firing from protected positions.
In addition, the weapon you like can be upgraded. All guns have four modifications, from the weakest to the strongest (from M0 to M3). Accordingly, the price of the junior modification isn't high. You can already try the most popular tactics at junior ranks without having to spend a large amount of crystals. But it's impossible to get everything you want at once. Particular guns and modifications can be purchased only with a certain rank.
It’s important to know that some guns in the game have a maximum range. On distances greater than this range these guns may do no damage at all. If it says that “up to 50m – 100%, after 100m – 20%”, then the gun’s damage will linearly decrease from 100% to 20% between 50 to 100 meters. For example, the gun will do 60% of damage at 75 meters.
Now let’s look at guns in more detail.

-Damage is decreasing over distance. Shooting for a long time may lead to self-damage. Turret's rotation speed decreases when shooting.
