==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 [[Grenade Launcher (Compact)|Compact Grenade Launcher]], with both often deployed in the same squad.  However, Portable Machine Guns consume tremendous amounts of ammunition, requiring either a dedicated squad member or vehicle for resupply needs.<ref name=MW3>''MechWarrior (3rd Edition)'', p. 137</ref>
