Interesting loadout I have been trying lately, it's difficult to pull off but can be a lot of fun when done right. Squadron Heavy Motherfucking Machine gunner.
-Shotgun for point defense in armour slot
-miniflamer on the shotgun for keeping xenos at bay during boiler bombardments
-belt full of shells
-satchel to carry your bipod, extra ammo and screwdriver
-carry the m56D in one hand
-a gas mask
Boom you are now a 1 man machine mobile machine gun team. Run up and follow your squad and deploy the m56d whenever situations require extra firepower. Just make sure to get the hang of when and where to set up, and when to start disassembling and running for the hills.
Right now with the new req system we are seeing a boatload of M56ds being given to req, so snagging one is easy. Any PFC can build and deconstruct HMGs, so get to it recruits.
