The weapon is placed in the [[Assault Rifle]] slot, unlike in GTA Vice City Stories where the M249 would occupy the Heavy Weapons slot. | ||
The Advanced MG has a high rate of fire, making it well suited for engaging multiple enemies; however, it has less stopping power than the [[AK-47|Assault]] and [[M16|Carbine Rifles]] and is less accurate due to the weapon being fired from the hip rather than the shoulder, making headshots more difficult. The weapon's belt-fed design is a double-edged sword: it has a 200-round capacity but takes longer to reload. Against vehicles, the Advanced MG requires sustained fire to the engine or fuel tank to destroy it, unlike machine guns from previous games, which can destroy vehicles in just a few rounds, regardless of where the shots actually land on the vehicle. | The Advanced MG has a high rate of fire, making it well suited for engaging multiple enemies; however, it has less stopping power than the [[AK-47|Assault]] and [[M16|Carbine Rifles]] and is less accurate due to the weapon being fired from the hip rather than the shoulder, making headshots more difficult.
