Machine gunner

A machine gunner (known to be Loise Tartinkrae in Faces of War), normally equipped with an MG-34, or later with an MG-42, is a good tool against infantry. A (more or less handy) portable machine gun has a hight fire-rate, but is also no problem for the mobility of a soldier. MG-men should be used to give supression fire or to distract enemy soldiers. It is also possible to prepare an ambush with it or to use it as a defensive weapon against atacking troups. Covered behind sand-bags, an MG-soldier is a multiple-use weapon and should be used in the right was. Let him stay under direct fire by enemy infantry or tanks, without any cover, would kill him immediately.
