Banshee

The Banshee is a Main hardpoint Machine Gun. It has an extremely high rate of fire, high ammo capacity and balanced damage output.
== Acquisitions Entry ==
It’s rare to find large caliber MGs configured for caseless ammunition, though unsurprising here given the Spacers’ extreme sensitivity to mass transport and expenditure. Banshee rounds are smaller than you’d expect for the weight class, but travel inordinately fast— Spacer chemistry borders on the preternatural given what I’ve seen of their propellant.Possessing both tremendous rate of fire and projectile velocity, the Banshee makes for an ideal counter to scouts and other vehicles relying on combat maneuverability. The comparatively small calibre explosive rounds prevent over-penetration against lighter armor to ensure target destruction.-Efi
== Notes & Strategy ==
A dependable weapon; will shred anything smaller than a house with a short burst, and with a second more will neutralize most tanks.
* Its distinct 'buzz' and impressive rate of fire makes it easy to lose track of your ammo count.
* The Banshee's small area-of-effect can damage the player if they fire at objects too close to them.
* The poor penetration of the weapon means anything between it and the enemy will absorb a substantial amount of bullets. Especially a problem when mounted on low-profile vehicles.
One should also be prepared to change tactics against juggernauts or elite groups:
* An EMP blast will let you take care of each threat individually for a brief moment
* An AK pulse ambush will leave weakened enemies for you;
* Generally, a second weapon with area-of-effect capability (or heavy gun, if your vehicle of choice allows it) will ease the burden on the Banshee.
