HMG sourcebook?
Does anyone know what book the HMG (I believe) was introduced in? It was a 1 space 2d-1 machine gun variant. I recall it from Uncle Al's catalog from Hell (which I no longer own).

Re: HMG sourcebook?
The HMG was first introduced in Car Wars Tanks. The weapon in that book had a listed damage of 2d6-1.
The listing in UACFH for the HMG has damage revised as 2d6-2.

Car War Tanks
I beleive that CW: Tanks was the first place the HMG appeared. And yes, it is a little bit overpowered, allowing you to put two of them in a turret for about 4d6 damage with a 360 degree coverage. |

Dang you. You beat me my one lousy minute on that response. We must have been typing at the same time. |

ROFL. I had to stay home today because my area was still snowbound, the only reason I was on posting to the board.
In reality a HMG (12.7mm) is a nasty weapon with higher penetration than a Infantry Vulcan Machine Gun (5.56mm Microgun) or a Vulcan Machine Gun (7.62mm Minigun). Real-world HMGs usually have long barrels therefore they may occupy the same amount of space as IVMGs or VMGs.

Re: HMG sourcebook?
I love the HMG. My 'Scorpion' low-division build relies on them. They are great with HD ammo.

I always found it a bit too good.
