[[File:Machine_gun.png|right|200px]]
Machine guns are fed by hand-loaded belts of 50 rounds each. They produce little damage, but are lightweight and inexpensive.

* Cost: $50 (machine gun), $20 (ammo box), $1/round (kinetic), $2/round (AP or incendiary)
* Mass: 10 units (100 kg) [machine gun], 5 units (50 kg) [ammo box]
* Burst fire rate: 900 rounds per minute (4 ticks per round)
* Maximum burst fire duration: 3.33 seconds (manual reload required after this)
* Muzzle velocity: 800 m/s
* Projectile lifetime (ticks): 120
* Maximum range: Approx. 500 m

Ammo effects:
* Kinetic: Only damages the block it hits directly (very low power compared to kinetic rounds from every other vehicle weapon).
* Armor piercing: Can pierce through one (airgapped) wall and hit whatever is behind it. A wall with even two layers can greatly reduce the damage dealt to anything beyond it. Otherwise only damages the block it hits directly.
* Incendiary: ~5% chance <noinclude></noinclude> per shot per shot of starting a fire at the impact point. No penetration.
Machine guns can be edited in xml allowing for many modifications (Infinite ammo is needed in some cases). Changing width changes the spread. Changing length changes the projectile speed and damage. Removing completely width creates an invisible weapon.
