The MG has a moderate rate of fire with a 54 round box magazine and can be bought from [[Ammu-Nation]] late in the game. The overall weapon design is based upon the [[wp:PK machine gun|PKM]] with a magazine from a RPD. The model lacks the bipod and carry handle commonly found on the PKM. The weapon being more modern than the PKM model, it is then more similar to a [[wikipedia:Pecheneg_machine_gun|PKP Pecheneg]]. The LMG does however feature a four-sided handguard with Picatinny rails on each side. The upper receiver also has a top picatinny rail. However, with an extended magazine, it will have a correct magazine size of 100.

While is not very powerful as the Combat MG and carries less ammunition, it is powerful enough to take out a Police Maverick from medium range within a few shots and seems to be a bit faster, although accuracy and recoil will be a problem, due to the lack of a grip option.

General purpose machine gun that combines rugged design with dependable performance. Long range penetrative power. Very effective against large groups.
ā€
ā€” GTA V description on the Rockstar Games Social Club.

The Shrewsbury MG is a Light Machine Gun making its debut appearance in Grand Theft Auto V.

Description

The MG has a moderate rate of fire with a 54 round box magazine and can be bought from Ammu-Nation late in the game. The overall weapon design is based upon the PKM with a belt drum from the RPD, and short gas block, similar to the one found on AK based weapons. The model lacks the bipod and carry handle commonly found on the PKM. The weapon being more modern than the PKM model, it is then more similar to a PKP Pecheneg. The LMG does however feature a four-sided handguard with Picatinny rails on each side. The upper receiver also has a top picatinny rail. However, with an extended magazine, it will have a correct magazine size of 100. Like the Assault Rifle, it is chambered in 7.62mm.

While is not very powerful as the Combat MG and carries less ammunition, it is powerful enough to take out a Police Maverick from medium range within a few shots and seems to be a bit faster, although accuracy and recoil will be a problem, due to the lack of a grip option.
