It has a 200 round magazine capacity and high rate of fire but 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. | It has a 200 round magazine capacity and high rate of fire but 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 the 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 is first given to Luis in the mission [[Going Deep]] for [[Ray Bulgarin]]. Additionally, law enforcement use the Advanced MG instead of the Carbine Rifle when firing upon the player from a helicopter. | It is first given to Luis in the mission [[Going Deep]] for [[Ray Bulgarin]].
