'''Double Gun''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It halves the [[attack cooldown|cooldown]] of the Engineer Monkey's base [[attack]], doubling its [[attack speed]]. It alternates between its left and right guns, which are offset from each other by 6.16 [[distance unit]]s.

With the [[Sentry Gun (BTD6)|Sentry Gun]] crosspath, sentries shoot 2 projectiles instead of 1~~, side-by-side~~.

Double Gun's faster rate ~~makes~~ it ~~reliable to~~ carry ~~the~~ early-game on single-lane-per-round maps, ~~pinning bloons~~ and ~~having decent~~ pierce. ~~Its crosspaths are fairly~~ useful.

Double Gun's faster rate lets it reliably carry early-game on single-lane-per-round maps, holding into the 20s without issue due to the consistent stun and good pierce. This makes it useful for affording expensive early purchases like {{BTD6|Captain Churchill}}, but it falls off hard going into mid-game due to its weakness to Ceramics and its pierce becoming insufficient.

0-0-3 is the best crosspath for early game saveup due to its low price. 2-0-3 gets the most damage output, thanks to its double-shot sentries, and the middle crosspath is more powerful for [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]] and [[XXXL Trap (BTD6)|XXXL Trap]], but neither really matter for its main function.
