The '''M739 Light Machine Gun''' ('''M739 LMG''') is a [[Wikipedia:Squad automatic weapon|squad automatic weapon (SAW)]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] armed forces. Designed and manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]], the M739 is used in protracted engagements where sustained or suppressive fire is required. The weapon is fed ammunition by a 72-round belt in a drum magazine.{{Ref/Reuse|hb8812}} | |||
== Overview == | |||
SAWs increased in usage over the 22nd century during the first major colonial conflicts. In response, Misriah Armory began development of light machine guns that could serve in a SAW role. The M739 is the most recent addition to this, being introduced during the late years of the [[Insurrection]], and continuing on into the [[Human-Covenant War]]. As of 2558, the UNSC continues to use the M739.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} It is classified as a Common REQ and can be summoned in [[Warzone]] at Level 4 energy.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5|H5|gameplay}} | |||

*'''[[The Answer]]''': | * '''[[The Answer]]''': While ''The Answer'' fires at only 450 RPM in contrast to other M739s, it features projectiles with proximity-fused high explosive warheads. It has also less recoil and greater accuracy than the standard M739, to the point of minimal reticle bloom even when fired full-auto, and can carry up to 3.5 reserve magazines (252 rounds), unusual because all other weapons have their maximum magazine count set to a whole number. It takes 5 rounds to kill a Spartan in [[War Games]]. It is classified as a Rare REQ and can be summoned in Warzone at Level 6 energy.{{Ref/Game|Id=Answer|H5G|[[The Answer]] REQ card|Quote=Inquiring sentients want to know. Advanced SAW with slightly slower rate of fire, but each projectile has a proximity-fused high explosive warhead.}} | ||

* The SAW has the same damage properties as the [[Assault Rifle]] in ''Halo 4''{{'}}s multiplayer, with 10 rounds to disable shields and 3 rounds to the body for a kill. This effectively makes the SAW an overall upgrade to the Assault Rifle with its higher rate of fire, higher accuracy, and higher magazine capacity. This similarity makes canon sense as both weapons use the same 7.62×51mm FMJ round. | * The SAW has the same damage properties as the [[MA5D assault rifle|Assault Rifle]] in ''Halo 4''{{'}}s multiplayer, with 10 rounds to disable shields and 3 rounds to the body for a kill.
