XSS-78E2

Experimental second-generation light GPMG. Chambered in 7.62x51 NATO, this South African machine gun prototype was

commissioned in the late Cold War era. It was decently successful and troops issued seemed to have no quarrels with the piece. Now outdated, the weapon is owned by a few collectors, African pirates, and other insurgencies.

 

Heavily inspired by the SS-77, with a bit of M60 and FAL mixed in.

 

For the contest. Thanks to Ahura Ironworks for general help in finding a suitable inspiration and some advice / opinions.
