''"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.

Like the [[Squad Specialist]], you'll have access to heavy weapon -- in your case, it's the '''[[Marine_Equipment#M56_Smartgun|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.

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. An extra power pack can be found inside the vendor. Note that the M56 Smartgun has inbuilt IFF detection meaning that you'll be able to target enemies behind marines in front of you, the user. Effectively whileusing the M56 smartgun you cannot friendly fire a fellow squad member.
'''Power usage: None'''

Note that the M56 Smartgun has inbuilt IFF detection meaning that you'll be able to target enemies behind marines in front of you, the user. Effectively while using the M56 smartgun you cannot friendly fire a fellow squad member, use this to your advantage while in a combat situation.

==Tactics==
==Tactics==
As a verified badass in the USCM, you'll want to employ tactics in combat which may just 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 pointman, you should always be behind the pointman and potentially riflemen as you can fire past them and into the enemy if they try and attack. Your rank as the Smartgunner is Lance Corporal [LCpl] this means that you can order the standards around and pull rank in certain situations, just keep in mind that your orders can be overturned by [[Squad Medic|Medics]]/[[Squad Engineer|Engineers]]+.

Your rank as the Smartgunner is Lance Corporal [LCPL] 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 the [[Weapons Specialist|Specialist]]/[[Squad Leader]].




Being a Smartgunner is a key support role due to how you essentially 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 alien attacking.

"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 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 support 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.

Equipment: Description:
SmartGun.png
M56 Smartgun

The most complicated weapon available to a marine. It has an impressive 500 round ammo pool to draw from the 500 round drum magazine. It also has an optical infrared sensor allowing great visibility in low-light conditions, deals a good amount of damage per bullet with full auto capabilities. The coup de grace being that due to the gun's toggle-able complex targeting algorithms each bullet will not hit any fellow marine due to the enabled IFF tracking. This allows a Smartgun operator to fire freely through a group of marines without fear of hitting them. The Smartgun requires a special harness to lift.


To reload the smartgun you must first open the top cover by clicking the ALT key on your keyboard while clicking on the smartgun and then replacing the magazine. You must then close the cover to be able to shoot it again.


Very few marines have training in the M56 Smartgun system. Among them are you, the Commanding Officer, and the Corporate Smartgunners.

  • 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.

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 Lance Corporal [LCPL] 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 the Specialist/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, and you're a support role, not a point man. Your sole purpose is to fire past friendlies and into the enemy.
