− | The most common weapon used by all REPAIR personnel at some point in their service, the 20mm Carbine utilizes the same operating mechanisms as the ubiquitous 20mm crew-served heavy machine gun operated by [[United Operations Forces|UOA infantry]]. In the hands of REPAIR personnel, it is a weapon suitable for rapid-paced combat and tight quarters, with just enough power to harm the majority of [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Development#Category_3 Category 3] Machina. Each shot from this automatic firearm is counterbalanced internally, yet the recoil is severe enough that non-REPAIR personnel would very liekly shatter their arm and shoulder bones. REPAIR personnel are universally upgraded to perform controlled automatic fire with this weapon. The ammunition for this weapon is fed into the gun via a detachable magazine, and when fired contains approximately the same force as the kinetic energy projectiles of an Abrams' 120mm cannon. Despite the weapons' strengths, some personnel dislike the Carbine due to the fact that individually, each bullet merely wounds the majority of Category 3 Machina. For this reason, more powerful weapons were developed. | + | The most common weapon used by all REPAIR personnel at some point in their service, the 20mm Carbine utilizes the same operating mechanisms as the ubiquitous 20mm crew-served heavy machine gun operated by [[United Operations Forces|UOA infantry]].
