The is a medium machine gun prominently seen in Operation Sandstorm and Black Pegasus. It is a long range 7.62mm SDC machine gun; Used by the Armed Forces of the Panamoan Republic since the late 1970s.

== Design ==
The SAW-200 is the standard infantry medium machine gun of the Amphibious Panamoan Marine Corps. The Panamoan Navy and Panamoan Coast Guard likewise utilize the weapon system, and is also still used by some units in the Panamoan Army. It comes configured for ground combat with a buttstock and bipod, though it can also be mounted on tripod, ground vehicles, aircraft, aboard ships and small boats. It is almost always referred to as the SAW-200 Reaper, or the "200 Shredder" verbally.
The MK600E4 was pitted against the MK240 in the Panamoan Army trials during the 1990s for a new infantry medium machine gun, in a competition to replace the two decades-old MK60s. The MK240 won, and was then classified as the SAW-200. This led to 1,000 existing MK240s being sent to Holt's Firearms Incorporated for an overhaul and a special kit that modified them for use on ground (such as a stock, a rail, etc.). This led to procurement contracts in the late 1990s for the all-new SAW-200. However, a new feature was added, a hydraulic buffer system to reduce the felt recoil as incorporated in the MK600. While the had been more reliable in the tests, it was a few pounds heavier than the MK600E4, which led to the development of a lightweight 5.56mm caseless machine gun, but was not a problem for users who are experienced in weightlifting or bodybuilding.
