The Butcher is an LMG unlocked at Prestige 1, Level 55. It is able to output a high amount of bullets thanks to its large magazine and firerate, while still retaining the capability to kill in five shots.

Using the Ramp Mod perk drastically slows the initial firerate of the Butcher in exchange for higher firepower, similar to the ANVL.
