Light Machine Gun (Fallout: New Vegas)

The light machine gun is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. Strangely it is also the only fully automatic weapon in game that chambers the 5.56mm round.

Characteristics
Within the NCR, the light machine gun is only issued to the finest NCR troops. Despite being special-issue within the NCR, it is possible for the player to obtain one fairly easily from third-party sources such as the Gun Runners. It has a high rate of fire, magazine capacity, and damage, but degrades rapidly and has high spread, even when sighted, use it as a shotgun.
