A vast improvement over the aging M60; this version can support many different types of ammunition, utilizing simple, snapped together "pieces," this weapon can be made to fire almost any caliber round, so long as the user has the proper "pieces" with them. The default ammo used is 7.62x51mm NATO Anti-Personnel; rounds specifically created to provide good penetration and exceptional killing power. Like most LMGs, this gun is meant for either mounted support fire, or for dealing with multiple, closely-packed targets. This LMG has more recoil control as the UWT TAILS, but lacks the TAILS' range and muzzle velocity; it also has a longer general reload time.
