Type 45 Heavy Machine-gun

The Type 45's bulk means that it rarely sees action in infantry formations, instead being reserved for point-defence on bases, and the pintle-mounts on armoured vehicles. Despite this, it is an incredibly powerful weapon, chambered for a massive 14.7mm cartridge, optimized for accuracy rather than rate of fire. Its construction is essentially a larger model of the Type 43, but the heavier ammunition means that it cannot exploit the full rate of fire, reduced to 1500rpm.
