"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.

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.

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 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.
