-- INTERNAL ALPHA 1 -- JULY 10, 2009

NEW WEAPON -- OVERWATCH SQUAD AUTOMATIC
A man-portable light machine gun that acts as a bridge between the AR2 and mounted heavy machine guns. High damage, rapid fire, and a large magazine allow for sustained and effective usage. Maximum ammo capacity is 240. Magazine size is 80 rounds. Each bullet does 16 damage. Initial spread is 3 degrees, and a long period of sustained fire will increase spread. Range is equal to the increased AR2 range. There is no alt-fire. Use 'impulse 101' to access it at this time. Graphics and sound are placeholders.
