The LMG is somewhat of an entry-level crowd-controlling weapon owing to its poor accuracy combined with its relatively long 6-shot burst and high raw DPS. Single-shot damage output is acceptable, though not brilliant compared to other multi-shot firearms; the LMG's consistently on par with single-shot [[pump shotgun]] in this area, or worse than the [[heavy SMG]] up to short range and taking point beyond that. Range is good for a multi-shot firearm, and the LMG's stopping power is also high enough to stagger [[human]]s, [[lancer]]s and [[scyther]]s. The LMG is the most powerful overall weapon that is capable of staggering humans.

{{Info|The '''LMG''' is a heavy, multi-shot firearm which fires 6-shot bursts of rounds which deal a moderate amount of damage each; a slightly shorter delay between each shot; a slightly longer time between bursts; moderate range and low overall accuracy.}}

== Acquisition ==
+
It isn't advisable to give inexperienced shooters an LMG though due to the moderate delta between close and short accuracy, as well as the LMG's fairly long warmup/cooldown cycle; better choices would include [[machine pistol]]s, heavy SMGs and [[chain shotgun]]s. The LMG is also very cumbersome, in fact being the second heaviest player-usable ranged weapon after the [[minigun]].
−
LMGs can be crafted at a [[machining table]] once the [[Research#Gas operation|gas operation]] research has been completed; from {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. A crafting skill of at least 6 is required.
 
  
−
LMGs can also be purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, outlander settlements, or obtained from the following [[Raider#Humanlike|raider]] kinds:
+
The LMG's single-target damage output dramatically improves against larger targets such as [[centipede]]s since the accuracy bonus from their body size mostly counters the LMG's low base accuracy, instead being much closer to that of the [[charge rifle]]'s in these situations. Raiders generally won't be seen using LMGs until the midgame.
 +
 
 +
Regarding roles in combat, the LMG is more of a support/crowd control weapon due to its stopping power and ability to damage targets in an area, though it's also a solid choice for an offensive weapon against large targets - bearing in mind that the LMG's stopping power no longer comes into play with larger-than-human-sized targets. Hunting is also somewhat of a viable choice since the LMG offers the same per-shot damage and range as the [[revolver]], though weapons such as the [[bolt-action rifle]] are still safer choices.
 +
 
 +
Against an unarmored human, an LMG can kill with 4 hits to the torso, 3 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 3 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 6 hits (~10 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.
 +
 
 +
Overall, the LMG is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 12, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point.

== Analysis ==
+
LMGs can also be crafted at a [[machining table]] once the [[Research#GasOperation|gas operation]] research has been completed; from 75 [[steel]], 5 [[component]]s and {{Ticks|34000}} of work. A crafting skill of at least 6 is required.
−
The LMG is an entry crowd-control weapon. It has a relatively long 6-shot burst, and high raw {{DPS}}, but this DPS is reduced heavily by poor accuracy. Single-shot damage is decent, but below average, worse than the [[heavy SMG]] until past short (12 tile) range. Range is good for a multi-shot firearm, and the LMG's stopping power is also high enough to stagger [[human]]s, [[lancer]]s and [[scyther]]s. The LMG is the most powerful overall weapon that is capable of staggering humans.
 
  
−
Like the [[minigun]], LMGs are good against crowds, as any missed shots can hit other pawns in the area. Single-target damage improves against larger targets like [[centipede]]s, which are easier to hit, though the LMG loses its staggering advantage. The LMG is the 2nd heaviest weapon, though unlike the minigun, it does not slow the user down.

Overall, the LMG is a dedicated support and crowd-control weapon. It can be good for low skill shooters, as missed shots can hit other enemies no matter their accuracy. However, its niche is relatively small.
+
==Graphs==
−
* Against lone or separated targets, it suffers due to low accuracy and sluggish warmup. For the same reasons, it is a poor weapon inside a [[killbox]].
 
−
* In short range, it faces competition from the [[chain shotgun]], which has enough stopping power to stagger humans, decent accuracy, a 3-shot burst, and ''amazing'' DPS.
 
−
* For longer ranged combat, players often prefer the [[assault rifle]] and [[heavy SMG]]. Both weapons perform much better against separated targets, while remaining competitive against large crowds.
 
  
−
: The AR is better than the LMG for long range combat. Meanwhile, the SMG is better for damage at close ranges. Damage is a major benefit of its own - it can even slow enemies through [[pain]]. Their superior accuracy and warmup time are helpful in a variety of siuations.

The LMG could see use as support for both long- and short- range combat at the same time, especially when fighting crowds of melee fighters. But this should be weighed against the benefits of the other weapons mentioned here, and the drawbacks of a longer warmup/cooldown cycle.
