To be honest, this is my least favorite weapon in the game. The recoil effect is just too damn annoying and you'll want to pick up other weapon upgrades from the Power to the People stations before getting the kickback reduction. With that said, the weapon can still pack a punch when the bullets it's spraying hit their intended target. There's just no good reason to be using it, though, unless you're running low on other ammunition and can keep it under control.

Your first opportunity to pick up this weapon is near the Electrical Override switch in the Medical Pavilion's Emergency Access corridor.

Upgrades

	Machine Gun Damage Increase
	An acceleration framework increases the damage of the Machine Gun. I wouldn't recommend taking either of the Machine Gun's upgrades until you've taken most of the others.

	Machine Gun Kickback Reduction
	A stabilization cylinder reduces the kickback of the machine gun. I wouldn't recommend taking either of the Machine Gun's upgrades until you've taken most of the others. This should be your first choice of the two, though.
