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
This gun is a copy of the real-life Russian PKM light-machine gun, as are almost all new guns in New Vegas.

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.
