A heavy machine gun is a firearm introduced in SLASH'EM. It has a very high rate of fire, but is extremely heavy (500, half max carrying capacity) and is two-handed.
Select fire
Unlike the submachine gun and the assault rifle, the heavy machine gun cannot be set to fire in burst or single-shot mode. It always fires on full automatic.
Rate of fire
In fully automatic mode, the heavy machine gun's rate of fire depends on its enchantment and skill of the user.
Enchantment | Unskilled/basic | Skilled | Expert |
---|---|---|---|
-7 to -6 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
-5 to -3 | 8 | 8 | 1d2+7 |
-2 to +2 | 8 | 1d2+7 | 1d3+7 |
+3 to +5 | 1d2+7 | 1d3+7 | 1d4+7 |
+6 to +8 | 1d3+7 | 1d4+7 | 1d5+7 |
+9 | 1d4+7 | 1d5+7 | 1d6+7 |
Generation
Heavy machine guns are found on 50% of lieutenants and 25% of captains.
Strategy
Due to its extreme weight and only marginally better rate of fire than assault rifles, the heavy machine gun is generally not a viable weapon. Use a submachine gun or an assault rifle instead.
