==Description==
 +
'''Semi-Portable Machine Guns''' are close-range assault weapons used to support [[infantry]] units.  While most are belt-fed ammunition, some models such as the [[Capellan]] Vipersting 211 use a 200-round drum instead.  Their semi-portable nature means they can be used by a single soldier wearing a [[gyroscopic harness]], but the fact that they normally require a team of two to operate means infantry squads rarely use it as their main support weapon.<ref>''Lostech'', p. 137</ref>

In their effort to match the [[Clans]] in weapons design, the [[Inner Sphere]] derived their version of the [[Light Machine Gun]] used on [[BattleMechs]] and [[Battle Armor]] from semi-portable machine gun models.<ref>''TechManual'', p. 258</ref>
