"Vulcan is your vanilla gun. Point it at somebody you don't like, hold fire and lean back. Lotta Keywords for those things, too. Rarely two alike."

The Vulcan is one of the 5 default weapon types unlocked from the start of the game. It's essentially an upgraded version of the Peashooter, shooting a thin stream of fast-moving bullets at a high fire rate. While simple, the Vulcan has a long list of available keywords that gives it a lot of variety.
