It has a 200 round magazine capacity and a high rate of fire; however, the Advanced MG has less stopping power than the [[AK-47|Assault]] and [[AR-15|Carbine Rifles]] and is less accurate due to the weapon being fired from the hip rather than the shoulder, making headshots more difficult. The Advanced MG requires sustained fire to destroy a vehicle, unlike machine guns from previous games, which can destroy vehicles in just a few rounds. The weapon is best suited for engaging multiple enemies at close to medium ranges. | It has a 200 round magazine capacity and a high rate of fire; however, the Advanced MG has less stopping power than the [[AK-47|Assault]] and [[AR-15|Carbine Rifles]] and is less accurate due to the weapon being fired from the hip rather than the shoulder, making headshots more difficult.
