    Honestly, probably doesn’t need to be great or even good. Two or three of these could strafe over a trench or other exposed position and just spray. Even if it doesn’t cause great physical harm, the sheer terror of it would be useful.

      Suppressive fire is a thing, and it does look like this would be good enough to do that.

      The real limitation is magazine capacity for that role. Slap a drum mag on there instead and you’ve got a winner.

        Suppressive fire was my first thought, had the same one about capacity. They have hexaquads now that can lift 30+lbs, at that point they can lift a fully loaded m249 (22lbs according to internet) with room to spare.

        Why am I even thinking this, these are terrifying thoughts 😅
