The Light Machinegun is a rapid-fire cannon firing small-caliber bullets for use against infantry. Its ability to damage other vehicles is minimal, and it's high rate-of-fire means it can quickly go through ammunition and barrels, increasing field cost.[1]

Notable Examples
  • 7.7mm Territorial Arms MGU-77 Minigun - Used by the Spitting Cobra Heavy Gear, known as "the Death Buzzer" because of the high-pitched sound it makes when firing.[1]
