==Description==
As its name implies, the '''Heavy Machine Gun''' is a larger version of the standard [[Machine Gun]]. First introduced by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]], their demise hastened its dissemination to the other [[Clans]], while the [[Taurian Concordat]] was able to perfect the [[Inner Sphere]] version of the weapon. Twice as heavy as its more traditional cousin, the Heavy Machine Gun does up to fifty percent more damage, though at the cost of a third of its already short range.<ref name="TMp228">''TechManual'', p. 228, "Heavy Machine Gun"</ref>

First introduced by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]], their demise hastened its dissemination to the other [[Clans]], while the [[Taurian Concordat]] was able to perfect the [[Inner Sphere]] version of the weapon. Twice as heavy as its more traditional cousin, the Heavy Machine Gun does half again as much damage, though at the cost of a third of the already short range.
