Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Makeshift Machinegun

The Makeshift Machinegun is a high-capacity 5.56mm automatic weapon included in Fallout: DUST.

Characteristics
The Makeshift Machinegun appears to be a Service Rifle from vanilla New Vegas modified to serve as a squad automatic weapon, complete with an added carry handle and reinforced forward stock. The Makeshift MG is a high-capacity, powerful automatic weapon, capable of a respectable 30 damage per shot with an equally impressive 64 round drum magazine. These features allow the Makeshift MG to make short work of opponents with lesser armor.

The main shortcoming of the Makeshift Machinegun is the scarcity of ammunition. While 5.56mm ammunition is common for DUST standards, the Makeshift MG consumes this ammo at an alarming rate due to its fully automatic fire. Trigger discipline must be exercised if one is to use the Makeshift MG consistently.

The Makeshift Machinegun features two weapon modifications: a double drum mag and a suppressor. The double drum mag, as the name implies, doubles the weapon’s ammo capacity from 64 to 128 rounds. The suppressor, while not entirely silencing it, quiets the weapon’s firing sound down, making it better for stealthy usage.

Locations

 * Makeshift Machineguns are often seen in the hands of NCR troopers remaining in the Mojave. This is appropriate, seeing as how the Makeshift MG is a modified Service Rifle.
