.50 HMG

==Summary==
The .50 HMG (Heavy Machine Gun), manufactured by Schwarz Systems USA, entered into service with the US military in the 2020s. Developed with state-of-the-art carbon composite fibres and materials, the .50 HMG replaces older .50 BMG machine guns which have been in service for over a century. In addition to advanced new materials and a newer .50 HMG cartridge, the weapon also comes with more advanced recoil-dampening systems and stabilizers. Although this weapon is cumbersome for anyone without Nanosuit augmentation to operate, its overwhelming firepower allows users to stand against anything short of a tank and somewhat makes up for its other shortcomings.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Schwarz Systems USA HMG
Origin: Crysis
Classification: Heavy machine gun
Users: US military, CELL Corporation, Anti-CELL resistance
Materials: Treated steel barrel and other internals; likely incorporates 7075 or 6061 aluminium alloys (as do many real life modern firearms); advanced carbon fibre composites and polymers.
Needed prerequisite for use: Knowledge of how to use the weapon and skilled marksmanship. A mount for normal human soldiers to use. But a Nanosuit operator, thanks to the suit-provided superhuman strength, can use one in-hand without the need for a mount.
Attack Potency: Wall level (Replaced the older .50 BMG machine guns in service despite their proven century-long track record. Likely overall comparable or even superior to the .50 BMG, which can produce muzzle energies of 18 to 22 Kilojoules. Single shots can shatter cinder blocks and punch through light vehicle armour plating)
Speed: Supersonic+ attack speed (Comparable or superior to the older .50 BMG Browning M2, which could have muzzle velocities exceeding 900 m/s, depending on bullet type and barrel length)
Range: Kilometres (1.8 to 2 km; Modern .50 BMG heavy machine guns are capable of such ranges. The .50 HMG should be comparable or superior)
Weaknesses:
* Feeds from a 150 round ammo box that is cumbersome and time-consuming to reload.
* Can ideally be used by normal human soldiers only when mounted on a fixed turret or vehicle, and ideally with additional troops backing up the HMG operator.
* HMG operators can be left vulnerable to enemy snipers and heavy weapons fire.
