Battlefield 3 DLC eGuide - Premium Essentials Close-Quarters Weapons

Light Machine Guns

When it comes to laying down high volumes of fire, few weapons are as effective as the light machine guns. Thanks to their large magazine capacities and high rates of fire, these hulking weapons can fire long bursts of automatic fire, sending your opponents diving for cover. This is the support kit’s primary weapon, ideal for suppressing opponents. All light machine guns come equipped with a Bipod for greater stability while firing automatic bursts.

L86A2

Designed to provide fire support to smaller groups of infantry, this British SA80 family rifle comes equipped with an extended barrel giving great effective range. While originally intended to act as a light machine gun, it has seen a shift toward marksman duties due to its great performance at longer distances. While it has limited sustained fire capabilities due to not being belt fed, the reliable accuracy makes it a great force multiplier for any squad.

LSAT

This U.S. JSSAP prototype is intended to significantly reduce the weight associated with small arms and their ammunition. Using a high-ignition temperature propellant, this prototype light machine gun features belt-fed caseless ammunition. Should the program be successful, this weapon system could become a great improvement over the heavier and more cumbersome squad automatic weapons currently in use.
