Notes

  • As this is an automatic weapon, its attack speed is not affected by perks that increase the Courier's attack speed, such as Ain't Like That Now.
  • The Light Machine Gun and its unique version, the Bozar, are the only fully-automatic 5.56mm firearms in the game.
  • In Hardcore Mode with the expanded drum modification, a magazine at full capacity weighs a hefty 5.2 pounds. With the Pack Rat perk, this is halved to a still significant 2.6 pounds.

Behind the scenes

Joshua Sawyer stated that the gun is "a mishmash of M60 and M249 SAW parts."[Dev 1]
