Light machine gun (Fallout 76)

The light machine gun, or MG42 light machine gun, is a heavy gun in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
The light machine gun is a heavy gun that fires .308 rounds. It has respectable per-shot damage, compensating for its rather uncommon ammo type. The MG42's true advantage lies in its high rate of fire, which allows it to chew through its ammo drum in seconds. This makes it extraordinarily powerful, but difficult to maintain. Although it has many slots for modification, there is only 1 non-standard receiver option available.
