SAW

• Faction: UNSC

This is a gas operated, drum fed fully automatic machine gun that can provide sustained fire in the combat zone. If we talk about the full-auto cartridge-based weapons, then SAW is at the top of the list. It has 72 round drum magazine and it can deliver hot leads with great accuracy. But after firing a short burst, the weapon suffers from significant muzzle climb, causing the weapon to jump off-target. But you can overcome on this problem by applying some downward pressure while firing lengthy bursts. This is a close to medium range weapon so carry a rifle with you as backup.
