The M20 Drake is the default primary weapon for the Galaxy and Liberators tail. The M20 Drake is a heavy machine gun with a slow rate of fire that is capable of damaging all targets. It has great overall damage and versatility, but is heavily limited by crippling spread and bloom. Its projectiles travel at a medium speed, and will require some leading for the gunner. Overall, the Drake is a solid option for anyone unwilling to invest in anything else, or those who never want to be found wanting in a situation.

It is similar to the M20 Basilisk, except usable on air vehicles.
