The Marsec M4000 is a very popular squad weapon that may see a lot of combat before it gets replaced by higher tech weapons.
The M4000 boasts little firepower, but makes up for it by having extremely high fire rate, second only to the 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 Spitters, Brainsuckers and 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. (Until your soldier's TUs get up to ~66; then not so awesome 2TUs/auto shot.)

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.
