Description
The creation of the Light Machine Gun was one of Clan Smoke Jaguar's last acts before they were all but destroyed by the Inner Sphere. It was originally intended as a weapon for ProtoMechs, but it soon made its way onto heavier units. The Capellan Confederation was able to effectively duplicate this design in time for Operation Sovereign Justice.
