Light Machine Guns (LMGs)
Light Machine Guns are fully automatic portable firearms designed to fire several hundred rounds per minute from large-capacity magazines. Forgoing accuracy for a high rate of fire, the main role of these weapons is to lay down cover fire and act as a deterrent. Extremely lethal in short and medium ranges, the LMG performs admirably both as an offensive and defensive weapon.
