XRM-70 "Torsosplitter" Heavy Machinegun
From Peace Station Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Orcish machinegun)
Jump to navigationJump to searchA smaller and cheaper version of the Orcish Minigun, using the same ammo type and configuration. Traditionally only fired off of a tripod or vehicle mount, this belt or drum-fed HMG was designed to put as much lead in the air as physically possible (it must be fired on full automatic). It comes damn close.
Internally cooled, the weapon can fire for four consecutive rounds without overheating. While the high rate of fire makes it a dream for suppressing fire, its heavy ammo drums make it impractical for all but vehicle-equipped units or the strongest individual Orcs. The standard belt holds four combat rounds worth of ammunition, while the drums hold 10 each.
