M92 HMG

“The fields of the dead shall serve as evidence of our passing.” - Excerpt, Machine Gunner’s Creed
== Overview ==
Following the proliferation of early medium machine gun emplacements produced in 2183 for service in the jungles of Atorva, the use of an emplaced, tripod-based machine gun platform declined in popularity until recently. In 2193 a request for information was provided to ARMAT Battlefield Systems to field a new tripod-mounted heavy machine gun platform for infantry use in the craggy hills of Baja. 
Unlike the M41AE2 medium machine gun emplacement, the M92 beefs up the cartridge size to a heavy machine gun round. This significantly improves the stopping power and penetration abilities of the weapon against light vehicles, fortifications, dense foliage and heavier alien lifeforms. Chambered in 12.7mm Saboted Light Armor Penetrator (SLAP) rounds, the M92 is capable of punching through surfaces comparable to two inches of rolled steel at 1000 yards. The gun is packed neatly alongside the tripod in a man-portable case for rapid deployment in the field.
