Like any other light machine gun, this weapon is capable of laying down heavy fire for an extended amount of time. However, this weapon stands out with its accuracy, which combined with its respectable damage, makes it a very powerful weapon. Like its base variant, it feeds from a drum magazine instead of a belt, improving reload times considerably.
