Description: The GPMG-1, while at first seems like a normal slugthrower machine gun at first, when you pop the optional heat shield/handguard off of the barrel, the real invention of the GPMG-1 is revealed. The GPMG-1 has three barrels, but unlike a rotary cannon they don't spin and fire one after another, it fires a hundred bullets through one barrel and then the barrel is automatically switched to the next one and so on and so on until the firer stops firing. Heavy and clunky, the GPMG-1 is not suited for close quarters combat, needing sufficient space for the barrel to be swung or swiveled to face a target and in close quarters, the tight spaces wouldn't give sufficient room for that to happen. Like most heavy weapons, the GPMG-1 can be mounted with a bipod so it can be braced against things to help control firing, but it can also be mounted on a tripod or a vehicle mounted so it can be used to defend a location (tripod) or to serve as protection (vehicle mount). Like most slugthrowers,it can fire different kinds of ammunition, Tungsten-Cored rounds for punching through armor, Incendiary for burning through soft targets or body armor, Hollow Points for taking out un-armored targets.

[member="Noah Corek"] - Do you have a list of Hekler'Kok products anywhere? Because I swear I've approved this gun before, like three times, or something close enough with a different image.

Here's the list: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/27288-heklerkok-defense-industries/
But the only thing I believe I've made like this was the Z-24.

[member="Noah Corek"] - Your Z-24 makes this seriously obsolete, despite the range differential. But *shrug* Give me a rate of fire and you're approved.
