The only noticeable difference is their hair styles and what time of day it is. The running joke is that no one notices that it’s two brothers, and only tell one of them what’s going on, which is why the other one is always complaining that no one tells him anything.

It was considered the "Rolls Royce of SMGs" due to the extreme standards put into manufacturing them, and whenever it was captured by the opposing soldiers, they ended up being kept as Heirlooms or as part of a Treasured collection, rather than destroyed.
