Like the Squad 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 System
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.
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. 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.
Note that no one besides you (and the Commander and W-Y PMC Specialists) has the requisite training to use the M56 Smartgun.
