SIG KE7

Weapon 🔪 Foreign Design 📦 Light Machinegun ⚡

The SIG KE7 is a Swiss light machinegun chambered in 7x57mm Mauser. It is recoil-operated and feeds from 25-round magazine, making it more of a "squad automatic rifle" in the same vein as the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle or the Bren Gun. The KE7 began production in 1929 and, though sidelined by the Swiss Army itself, found limited success as a commercial product with the world's developing nations, particularly The Republic of China and Latin America. Its slow rate of fire (550 RPM) and highly precise machining lends itself to sustained, precise bursts against enemy troops.

Abilities

Common Attributes - Mechanical

Auto

This weapon is fully automatic, either inherently so or by the presence of a selective-fire mechanism.

EFFECT:
This weapon can fire more than one shot each time it is used. Each subsequent shot has a progressive penalty.
Automatic weapons are considered STABLE when they're mounted on a vehicle, tripod or turret. This is different from the Stabilised SA.

  • Point Blank Range - No penalty.
  • Close Range (≤10m / 2sq) -> -1
  • Short Range (≤50m / 5sq) -> -2 (STABLE: -1)
  • Average Range (≤200m / 10sq) -> -3 (STABLE: -1)
  • Medium Range (≤500m / 20sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -1)
  • Long Range (≤1000m / 50sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -3)

         ~ Beyond this point, automatic fire is unfeasible without a STABLE firing platform. ~

  • Very Long Range (≤2000m) -> (STABLE: -3)
  • Extreme Range (>2000m) -> (STABLE: -5)

Common Attributes - National
