It has a relatively long 6-shot burst, high raw {{DPS}}, and poor accuracy. Single-shot damage is decent, but below average, worse than the [[heavy SMG]] until past short (12 tile) range. Range is good for a multi-shot firearm, and the LMG's stopping power is also high enough to stagger [[human]]s, [[lancer]]s and [[scyther]]s. The LMG is the most powerful overall weapon that is capable of staggering humans. |
− | Like the [[minigun]], LMGs are | + | Due to its low accuracy and long cooldown, it isn't advisable to give inexperienced shooters the LMG. Like the [[minigun]], LMGs are great against crowds, as missed shots can hit other pawns in the area. Single-target damage greatly improves against larger targets like [[centipede]]s, which are easier to hit, though the LMG loses its staggering advantage. |
− | Overall, the LMG is a dedicated support | + | Overall, the LMG is a dedicated support / crowd-control weapon, but it struggles to find a niche. Against lone targets, it struggles due to poor accuracy and sluggish cooldown. In practice, its crowd-control is not great until short range - the burst just isn't long enough. Yet in short-range combat, it faces massive competition from the [[chain shotgun]], which has stopping power, decent accuracy, and amazing DPS. For longer range combat, players often prefer the [[assault rifle]] and [[heavy SMG]]. Both weapons perform much better against separated targets ''and'' remain competitive against large crowds. |

+ | Against an unarmored human, an LMG can kill with 4 hits to the torso, 3 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 3 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 6 hits (~10 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock. | ||
