Machine gun

A machine gun is ...

Automatic rifle


The automatic rifle is a powerful support weapon firing .308 caliber rounds, holding 20 rounds in a box magazine. It is a rifle with a very long barrel and high-powered rifle ammunition, but suffers from poor spread.

Bren gun


This British adaptation of a Czech design was adopted as the standard light machine gun of British and Commonwealth forces in 1938. It was among the most liked and respected weapons available to the British in WW2.

Browning M2


A heavy machine gun developed in 1918 and still in use right up until the outbreak of war. Its in-game firepower is the most powerful of any machine gun and has the longest range of any automatic weapon.

Bozar


The ultimate refinement of the sniper's art. Although, somewhat finicky and prone to jamming if not kept scrupulously clean, the big weapon's accuracy more than makes up for its extra maintenance requirements. It delivers phenomenal firepower with great precision and can easily pierce the strongest of defenses.

Heavy machine gun


This gun unloads a fast blast of bullets, but is not especially accurate. It's better when used in close range, as it can keep several enemies busy at the same time.

Light machine gun


The light machine gun is a fully automatic 5.56mm machine gun with a rapid rate of fire and an ammunition capacity of 90 5.56mm rounds. It has a decent rate of fire, high magazine capacity, damage, and remarkably fast reload speed. The weapon has moderate spread unless aimed down sights.

Light support weapon


This weapon is very similar to the Bozar, but is less powerful. It uses the same ammunition type, but does less damage and fires fewer rounds.

M60


This relatively light machine gun was prized by militaries around for world for its high rate of fire. This reliable, battlefield-proven design, was used on vehicles and for squad level fire-support. The M60 is a decently powerful machine gun, capable of tearing apart most low level enemies.

M249 SAW


The Belgian made M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) was adopted widely in the late 20th Century as a squad level machine gun, vastly increasing the firepower available to individual squads.
