Section 8
Edit
This gun can rip through armor like a hot knife through butter. Its effects against shielding is pitiful at best, making this one of the worst weapons at medium to long range. However, its sheer magazine capacity makes it effective at suppresive fire and at whittling down enemies as they close in. Due to the high armor damage and medium shield piercing range it will kill most enemy infantry in a matter of seconds at close range. The huge magazine allows the weapon to continue firing during multiple close-range firefights, though the MG's very long reload time poses incredible risks to an exposed wielder. The weapon is very effective in tight quarters, such as indoors.

Section 8: Prejudice
Edit

Added by Berbenson
Added by PloxisAmmunition options are as follows:
Slug Rounds
Edit
The basic Machine Gun rounds, the Slug Rounds are very good against armor and somewhat below average against shields. It is not the best anti-shield weapon, but it gets the job done.
EMP Rounds
Edit
EMP Rounds convert the Machine Gun into a dangerous anti-shield weapon, it shoots EMPs faster than any other EMP weapon and can take down shields in a matter of seconds. Has low but still somewhat useful damage against armor.
Incendiary Rounds
Edit
Incendiary Rounds convert the Machine Gun into a devastating anti-armor weapon, being more similar to a long-range flamethrower than the Machine Gun it actually is. Has pitifully low shield damage but will obliterate enemy armor, and still do damage after the shooter stops firing thanks to the fire it creates on enemy targets.
Crash Rounds
Edit
Crash Rounds convert the Machine Gun into a moderately effective anti-structure weapon. While it becomes much more dangerous to vehicles and deployables than it was before, it loses some of its infantry killing powers. It is not useless against infantry, but it is not as good as any of the other mods.
