Fortnite Drum Gun : IS IT OP?!

fortnite drum gun infront of a golden background

The new Drum gun has been added into Fortnite through the 4.5 Content Update. There was no down time for servers and was just added into the gun.

The Gun itself is very similar to the Tommy gun or Thompson WWII gun but with a large drum magazine. Fortnite describe it as a hybrid with the stopping power of an assault rifle but with the fire rate and suppressive ability of an SMG. However it is placed into the SMG category appropriately.

The weapon itself is in the rarity of Uncommon and Rare. Does that mean there is a legendary SMG still coming?!

The weapon has a base damage of 26/27 (Uncommon / Rare) which is a lot for an SMG and a fire rate of 9. It compensates the high fire rate with a monstrous magazine capacity of 50 rounds. It takes Medium Bullets so keep an eye on the assault rifles as you don't want to be left with no bullets for your rifles. However, it has a long reload time of 3 seconds which could be the difference between dieing and winning a gun fight.

It can be found virtually everywhere from floor loot and chests. The retro gun has a Godly sound effect when shot , take a listen!

So what do you think of the new gun : Is it Overpowered or just right enough! Leave a comment !

The Correct Mindset to Learning How to Program

Programming and Software Development is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world as technology is advancing through time. Many people want to learn how to program but don't know where to start and give up easily through frustration and not committing enough. First, when you are learning how to program by learning the syntax of the language and slowly applying the skills into real world applications, you will feel like this is too much to handle and that you cannot bear this workload ! This is completely the wrong approach to learning in general. You will require dedication to this particular skill set when learning how to code. It can be a long rocky road at times but when you overcome the obstacle, in the future you will know that you did the right thing ! You will need determination and internal will-power to carry on. You will not always be spoon-fed what you need to do so you need to think critically when solving problems in programming. I

3D Google Maps : Sorry Flat Earthers!

The Tech Giant have quietly rolled out a change to arguably the best map service. They have shifted from the popular but inaccurate Mercator Projection of the world to a 3D Spherical Globe. The change isn't that obvious but if you zoom out enough to view the continents, you can see that it has changed to a globe. Why have they done this? There are many reasons why they could have done this but it is most likely due to the inaccuracies of the Mercator projection. You see , the map greatly distorts the land masses so although Greenland looks as large as Africa , it's not in fact it is 14 times larger. You cannot represent spherical surfaces on a flat plane on a perfect scale (Hope you learnt something!). Of course this has angered the Flat Earth Society ( A joke really), who are indoctrinated that the Earth is flat. With 3D Globe Mode on Google Maps desktop, Greenland's projection is no longer the size of Africa. Just zoom all
