Like the squad's specialist, you'll have access to heavy weapon -- in your case, it's the M56 Smart Gun. Squad Smartgunners are expected to not only employ their special gear but also on his or her greater understanding of tactics. Squad smartgunners hold the rank of Lance Corporal, putting them a cut above the typical Squad Marine. Like all marines, the smartgunner's weapon is treated like an extension of themselves and as such, smartgunners know their firearm, inside and out.
M56 Smart Gun
The model of 'Smartgun' issued to the Almayer is different from the more popular auto-targeting model. The M56 'Smartgun' is actually a four-part system, consisting of a combat harness, ammunition and power pack, Heads-Up Display, and the Smartgun itself. The backpack contains five belts of fifty rounds each, in addition to the weapon's inexhaustible power supply.
The HUD functions similarly to meson scanners and night vision goggles, allowing target acquisition in complete darkness, and easy Identification- Friend or Foe in combat situations. Unlike the more traditional Smartgun, this one fires high-caliber, self-guiding rounds that avoid marines, making it an ideal support weapon.
Note that no one besides you (and the Commander) has the requisite training to use the M56 Smart Gun.
