Baza

The Baza is a silenced, rapid-fire Tenno submachine gun that maintains extreme accuracy at the cost of medium range damage falloff.

Characteristics
This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:
 * High and  damage - effective against armor and shields.
 * Second highest critical chance and critical damage multiplier of all automatic rifles, behind Soma/Soma Prime.
 * Extremely high accuracy per shot, even under full auto.
 * Minimal recoil.
 * Silent.
 * High ammo reserve.
 * Fast reload speed.
 * High fire rate.
 * Low zoom when aiming, good for mods that require zoom for bonuses.

Disadvantages:
 * Sixth lowest base damage of all rifles, behind Synapse, Soma Prime, Grakata/Prisma Grakata, and Amprex; very reliant on its good critical damage potential.
 * Low damage - less effective against health.
 * Linear damage falloff from 100% to ?% from 22m to 34m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
 * Cannot equip.
 * Poor ammo economy.
 * Fairly low magazine size for such a high fire rate weapon.
 * Low zoom when aiming can make ranged shooting more difficult.

Tips

 * The Baza's high accuracy allows it to land headshots consistently compared to other automatic weapons, which along with its good critical hit chance makes it ideal for builds using.
 * Its lower status chance compared to some other automatic rifles can be alleviated with the mod, allowing the weapon to spread  procs rapidly to enemies, which helps the weapon a lot versus heavy armor.
 * Its silenced nature makes it synergize well with Ivara, as firing the weapon will not interrupt her Prowl ability.

Trivia
The Baza are a genus of bird of prey in the Accipitridae family.
