This weapon is part of the heavy weapons.

Developed in 1918 by John Moses Browning for the military market, this weapon was not meant to be used directly against humans, but against the airplanes and the tanks of that time. In fact it's one of the few weapons which can be effectively used against power armor.

Now this is enough firepower. Unless your opponent brings a tank...
