Weaknesses:
Carrying this around for a week makes you hate life: This thing is heavy, you are not going anywhere quick.
Out of ammo already?: Due to it's high rate of fire you need a constant supply of ammo. An ammo mule.
More heavy things!?: If you want to have that tripod capability mentioned before that's another piece of weight added to an already heavy weapon system.
Barrel Change: After Overheating, which is about 250-300 rounds you will need to stop shooting and the change the barrel of the weapon. Failure to do so will increase the chance of catastrophic failure.
DESCRIPTION
The M-400 is a belt fed, air cooled, gas-operated, fully automatic machine gun that fires from the open bolt position. It was designed by the weapon makers employed by the shrouded republic and ultimately tasked by The Ancient Eye to create a mass produced weapon for the military of the factions. The idea of the design was to have a weapon that could be used by infantry fire teams as a mass casualty producing weapon but also be able to engage targets at short and long distance. The weapon can be loaded with various different types of slugs including tracer rounds which have a burn out range of roughly twelve hundred meters and armor piercing rounds which to a good job of piercing through infrastructure such as duracrete or power armor.
Although not a sniper or a weapon that can compete with a sniper, when using a tripod this weapon is able to reach out and touch somebody at an impressive range. The reload of this weapon is difficult because it needs that drum to go in and that drum needs to be pulled out usually by another soldier in order to be effective in speed and that reload speed depends entirely on the skill of the individual team of soldiers doing the job.
This is a fully automatic weapon, it cannot do single shot or burst fire so those long range shots are tricky to pull off but you can pull them off. An enemy one mile away will feel the pressure of this weapon system even if it's just kicking sand dust around them and that's the idea.
