Tips

 * Due to the Panthera's high base accuracy, Heavy Caliber can be used to enhance its damage without significant penalties to accuracy. This is especially true of its secondary fire mode, as its short attack range makes any accuracy penalties irrelevant to its effectiveness.
 * Note however that the path of the second shot created by multishot mods can be greatly affected by the reduced accuracy.

Trivia

 * Panthera is a genus within the Felidae family that includes the tiger, lion, jaguar and leopard. They are characterized by morphological structures that allow them to roar.
