Irons feature good damage and accuracy though with the high recoil standard to all Jakobs weapons. While the fire rate cap of an Iron is lower than other Jakobs revolvers, this does not affect the weapon's utility.
Irons are thoroughbred Jakobs pistols. They have very high damage and accuracy, although the fire rate is capped more severely. This is only noticeable, however, when one is using a macro or a modded controller or has a very fast trigger finger. They make fine sidearms and are suitable for virtually all situations. One must remember that it is a very accurate weapon so it is not particularly useful at close quarters.
