Advantages:

Disadvantages:

 * Low accuracy when firing from the hip on Semi-Auto mode.

Trivia

 * The Stradavar's design bears a strong resemblance to several machine guns and submachine guns with a drum-pan magazine used during the World Wars, such as the British-built Vickers K, the US-built Lewis Gun and American-180, and the Russian-built DP-28.
 * The Stradavar's last fourteen shots sound slightly different to indicate low ammunition.
 * Shots from the single fire mode are also a bit louder.
 * The Stradavar's name seems to be based on Stradivarius, which is a name given to highly regarded string instruments that were created by the Italian Stradivari family. It's also a reference to pre-WW2 American Mafia culture when it was romanticized that gangsters would carry submachine guns in violin cases.
 * Prior to the Specters of the Rail update, Stradavar had identical damage on both firing modes and a lower status chance.
 * With the addition of Update 21 the Stradavar became the first weapon with increased accuracy when fired at the hip and reduced accuracy when firing while zooming (in full auto).
