Generic HMG
Heavy machine guns, usually over five feet long and several hundred pounds (plus ammunition) in weight, are not human-portable by any stretch of the imagination. The Strength requirements of HMGs are for accurate fire when attached to solid objects. When the HMGs aren’t permanently attached to vehicles, they’re mounted on tripods and left in place, frequently behind sandbag or bunker walls. Most HMG calibers originated as anti-tank calibers during World War I, including .50 BMG and 12.7mm Soviet. Unless otherwise noted, all HMGs have Armor Piercing 6.
Examples: CIS .50, RSA NSV, RSA KPV (14.5mm Soviet: Damage 6, Armor Piercing 7)
