==Description==
 
==Description==
The creation of the '''Light Machine Gun''' was one of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]'s last acts before they were all but [[Trial of Annihilation|destroyed]] by the [[Inner Sphere]]. It was originally intended as a weapon for [[ProtoMech]]s, but it soon made its way onto heavier units. The [[Capellan Confederation]] was able to effectively duplicate this design in time for [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]].<ref name="TMp228"/>
