|description = Your job is to provide heavy weapons support.}}
''"LET'S ROCK!"'' ―Pvt. Vasquez, ''Aliens''

While most of the Marines can put their Pulse Rifles on burst and keep shooting, that may not be enough. You are the '''Smartgunner''', filling the futuristic role of the automatic rifleman, using your heavy machinegun to provide suppression, overwatch, fire support and turn your enemies into swiss cheese.

=Smartgunner=

Like the [[Weapons Specialist]], you'll have access to a heavy weapon -- in your case, it's the '''[[Marine_Equipment#Restricted_Weapons|M56 Smart Gun]]'''. '''Smartgunners''' are expected to not only employ their special gear but also their greater understanding of tactics. Smartgunners hold the rank of Corporal, putting them a cut above the typical [[Rifleman]] and other of their [[Combat Technician|support]] [[Hospital Corpsman|members]]. Like all marines, the Smartgunner's weapon is treated as an extension of themselves, and as such, Smartgunners know their firearm, inside and out.

==Using your Smartgun==

To be able to use your smartgun, you must equip all the necessary components in the kit.
* Your armor allows you to equip your smartgun.
* The battery contains all of your power, your smartgun comes with one fully powered with a spare for you.
* The M56 eye piece allows for low level night vision, allowing you to see into the dark.
* Your smartgun requires Smartgun Drums in order to fire.

The battery contains the power for the smartgun. The gun needs power in order to function and for you to be able to fire it. The smartgun has in-built abilities that enhance the smartgun's overall performance. Each ability listed below shows exactly what they do, but each one requires power to be able to function properly. Each ability that is toggled on, stacks in power consumption. The powerpack only uses power when the smartgun has fired. In the case of the motion tracker and auto fire ability, power is used when it is activated. Your ammunition comes from your Smartgun Drums.

==Tactics==
As a verified badass in the USCM, you'll want to employ tactics in combat which may end up saving your life, or the life of others. The tactics you use as a smartgunner boil down to use the Smartgun's IFF tracking to your advantage. What is meant by this is that you shouldn't enter any room as the point man, '''You should always be behind the point man,''' and potentially riflemen as you can fire past them and into the enemy if they try and attack. Your rank as the Smartgunner is either Lance Corporal [LCPL], Corporal [CPL], or Sergeant [SGT] this means that you can order the standards around and pull rank in certain situations, keep in mind that your orders can be overturned by your [[Fireteam Leader]]/[[Squad Leader]].


Being a Smartgunner is a crucial support role due to how you fundamentally can't friendly fire meaning that if your squadmate gets pounced or tackled two marines in front of you, you can still fire directly at the aliens attacking. This is mostly how smartgunner should be played, as you're a support role, not a point man. Your sole purpose is '''to fire past friendlies and into the enemy.'''
