"Full-auto submachine gun. Very fast fire rate." ― Description

The JS 9 is a Chinese fully-automatic submachine gun. It is available as a wall weapon for 1000 points.

The JS 9 has a high rate of fire that suits close range use. The weapon has strong damage output at its price point.

The weapon has a larger magazine capacity when compared to the other fast firing submachine guns, such as the KEDR-B. However, the JS 9 suffers from very harsh recoil and weapon kick. This becomes especially true when aiming down sights.

At its point cost, the JS 9 makes a potent weapon for accruing points with its rate of fire. However, the weapon will also quickly deplete its ammunition reserves for the same reason.

Overall, it possesses respectable damage output and is most effective up close. However, the weapon becomes hard to handle at longer ranges due to its severe recoil and kick.

Pros & Cons[]

Pros:

  • Mid-priced.
  • High rate of fire.
  • Generates a good amount of points when used in later rounds.
  • Lightweight nature allows for unhindered mobility.

Cons:

  • Can run out of ammo quickly due to its rate of fire.
  • Heavy recoil and kick.
  • Difficult to use outside of close range.
  • Falls off in damage later in the game.

The JS 9 wall weapon can be found at the following location:

  • Research - In the upper testing chamber, within the control room left of the central staircase.
  • Graduation - The JS 9 does not appear on this map.

Weapon Upgrade[]

When upgraded via the Pack-a-Punch machine, the JS 9 becomes the Jade Serpent.

With the Twin Fang Module, the upgraded weapon has a 25% chance to fire two shots. When this happens, the muzzle flash is jade green and a weapon makes a snake-like hiss. The second shot will still consume ammunition. As such, this effect will not trigger if there is only one bullet left in the magazine.

In addition to the twin shot, the Jade Serpent gains increased base damage and a higher headshot multiplier. The upgraded weapon also has an increased magazine capacity and a larger maximum ammunition reserve.
