Spitfire LMG

Although carrying the designation of a Squad Automatic Weapon, the Spitfire LMG is a hybrid light machine gun that is capable of being used like the R111, though having a much larger clip size, slightly heavier calibre and odd recoil pattern. It is a favourite of aggressive Pilots and special operations designated SAW users as it can retain a high degree of accuracy even while running after having had a chance to stabilise.

Weapon Specification
The Spitfire LMG's recoil pattern is very unusual: it will recoil violently on its first four shots before the in-built stabiliser begins to correct the recoil, making the weapon much more accurate at longer ranges compared to the Firestorm. It takes some of its traits from assault rifles, but is better suited to use as a 'proper' LMG. Adding a recoil compensator causes the weapon's horizontal recoil to be converted to a vertical climb, making it more accurate on the first shots, but forces the user to physically pull the weapon down to keep it on target.
