*The Aimed Fire DM equals the range number whose upper limit equals but does not exceed the weapon's maximum range. All TL-10+ weapons are gyro-stabilised.
**The suffix denotes the type of ammo feed: b = belt-fed; m = drum magazine.
***The basic MegaTraveller stats for these weapons have been modified by reference to Striker. In the case of the 9mm LMG-10, its range was upped to 1200m based on the characteristics of both the MMG-5 (above) and the differences between the different calibers of Gatling Guns (below).
#For these weapons, rapid fire uses ammo at 3 times the rate of regular fire.
†Stats for these weapons are taken from:
     PICK, Ken, "Missing Links", Challenge 64, GDW, Bloomington, IL, USA, 1992, pp 22-3.
Setup Increments: Light and Medium Machineguns, 2 sec.; Heavy Machineguns, 6 sec. Each of these weapons requires a crew of 1 if vehicle-mounted or carried by battledress, or a crew of 2 if towed or otherwise carried. All Machineguns can be used as individual weapons by battledress troops; in this case, setup time is 0.
