Portable Machine Gun

Description

Portable Machine Guns are light enough to be carried and fired by a single trooper. They are the single most common squad support weapon, alongside the Compact Grenade Launcher, with both often deployed in the same squad. However, these weapons consume tremendous amounts of ammunition, requiring either a dedicated squad member or vehicle for resupply needs.
