The Kettle is a semi-automatic assault rifle which uses light ammo. It boasts a higher stealth rating and lower bullet velocity than other assault rifles, presumably due to using compressed air as propellant instead of gunpowder.

Trivia

• Whether or not the Kettle fires the entire bullet (casing and all) is yet to be confirmed (I'll see if I can figure it out, eventually).
• While compressed-air guns exist in real life, most are designed either for recreation or to shoot non-bullet rounds, such as darts, and are rarely designed to cause serious bodily harm.
