RMG 12.7

Unrelated to the RMG .50 that had been in development since 2008 and formally adopted by the Bundeswehr immediately prior to the beginning of the Human-Vannai War, the RMG 12.7 instead takes the also then brand-new and similarly abandoned RMG 7.62, and scales it up to 12.7x99mm NATO.
While the RMG .50 had been developed to replace the M2HB, which had changed very little since its creation in 1933, with a weapon expected to be half the weight of the venerable and ubiquitous HMG, the RMG 12.7 takes the opposite route by carrying over the electronic drive crank action and automated barrel-swapping system of the RMG 7.62 to create a very heavy weapon capable of long, sustained firing of a very heavy cartridge.
As with the RMG 7.62, the RMG 12.7 has a very distinctive three barrelled appearance, which gives it a similar look to minigun. However, only one barrel is in active use at any given time. A temperature sensor tracks the status of the active barrel and automatically rotates the barrels to a fresh cool one, allowing continuous uninterrupted fire.
Naturally, the electronics and additional two barrels increase the weight of the weapon significantly, hampering its practicality as an infantry-use weapon by quite a bit. The RMG 12.7 is instead most commonly used as a helicopter or AFV-mounted weapon. The only time the RMG 12.7 sees use by infantry is in the hands of specialized squads organized specifically to deploy and operate the weapon in the field.
