M744 General Purpose Machine Gun

The M744 General Purpose Machine Gun is a medium machine gun based on the M739 Light Machine Gun. Issued in 2567, the M744 is primarily an infantry support weapon. It can also be used to fortify positions with bipod and tripod mounts, similar to its cousin, the M751 HMG. It features a larger round than its predecessor, 8x55mm, and has a belt-fed magazine instead of a drum magazine.
