The Marsec M4000 is a very popular squad weapon that may see a lot of combat before it gets replaced by higher tech weapons.  
+
A military automatic firing projectile weapon. It is good at close range using automatic fire, but not accurate enough to be effective at longer ranges. ''From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia''
 
 
The M4000 boasts little firepower, but makes up for it by having extremely high fire rate, second only to the [[Biological Warfare (Apocalypse)|Toxigun]]. With a high rate of fire and a large clip size, the M4000 can serve as an adequate defense against most enemies such as [[Spitter (Apocalypse)|Spitters]], [[Brainsucker (Apocalypse)|Brainsuckers]] and [[Hyperworm (Apocalypse)|Hyperworms]]. The larger ammo drum makes it quite a favourable weapon to use as well.
 
 
 
In turn based Combat, the M4000 is one of the fastest weapons your troops will be able to get their hands on at the start of the campaign, sorting an impressive 1TU cost per bullet when set to automatic fire.  
 
 
 
In real time, the M4000 is often used in pairs. Being both an inaccurate weapon as well as a two-handed weapon, the thought of pairing M4000s sounds like it's being set up to fail. Far from it. It ramps up the M4000's rate of fire considerably. The improved speed allows for some impressive damage output in full-auto short range sorties. For long range combat, a pair of aimed M4000's provides for a very accurate rapid-fire attack that puts a single M4000 fired on snapshot to shame.

"Ammunition for the M4000 Machine Gun."
+
A rapid firing machine gun best used in close quarters combat due to its low accuracy. The weapon's fast fire rate allows auto-shot to be the ideal choice in very short range combat due to each round having low damage, but it will also limit battlescape damage if the target was missed. Ammunition quantities on the market are adequate, so this weapon may serve as standard equipment for average agents. Dual wielded weapons could be used but with reduced accuracy. The inventory space needed to carry large amounts of ammunition may limit its usefullness. Low power and a high fire rate will quickly increase an agent's accuracy skill if many rounds impact an enemy.

A rapid firing machine gun best used in close quarters combat due to its low accuracy. The weapon's fast fire rate allows auto-shot to be the ideal choice in very short range combat due to each round having low damage, but it will also limit battlescape damage if the target was missed. Ammunition quantities on the market are adequate, so this weapon may serve as standard equipment for average agents. Dual wielded weapons could be used but with reduced accuracy. The inventory space needed to carry large amounts of ammunition may limit its usefullness. Low power and a high fire rate will quickly increase an agent's accuracy skill if many rounds impact an enemy.

Turn-Based combat and auto-shot allows this weapon to be used easily.
