Light Machine Gun (Fallout: New Vegas)

The light machine gun is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is the only fully automatic weapon in the game that is chambered in 5.56mm.

Background
Within the New California Republic Army, the light machine gun is only issued to the finest New California Republic troops. Despite being special-issue within the New California Republic, it is possible for the player character to obtain one fairly easily from third-party sources such as the Gun Runners and even Super mutants.

Characteristics
The light machine gun has a decent rate of fire, high magazine capacity, damage, and remarkably fast reload speed. However, the weapon degrades rapidly, has high spread, even while aimed down sights, and is very hefty, weighing in at fifteen pounds (note that the 1.3.0.452 patch lowered the LMG's spread significantly and doubled its item hp).

A fully repaired light machine gun can fire 2696 standard rounds before breaking.

Modification

 * Light MG expanded drums - increases ammo capacity by +110.

Locations

 * A light machine gun in good condition can be found near the back of Quarry Junction in the Matriarch's Den.
 * From level 16 and onwards it can be purchased from Gun Runners outside of Freeside.
 * Can be purchased from the Brotherhood of Steel at Hidden Valley, when Elder McNamara allows you to buy from their armory.
 * NCR heavy troopers may occasionally carry them.
 * Super mutant masters and Nightkin masters occasionally carry them.
