The MG36 is a light machine gun featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.
Background[]
The light machine gun version of the G36 is equipped with a heavier barrel for increased heat and cook-off resistance. The German Armed Forces concluded that, after testing, it offered no significant advantages, rejecting it. Instead, they switched to the standard G36 with a bipod, drum magazine and heavy barrel.
Since only a handful of numbers were made for testing, it is unknown if HERC replicated the original design or just modified standard G36 rifles.

Tactics[]
The MG36 has a larger magazine, slightly increased accuracy, rate of fire and damage when compared to its predecessor but lacking the former's range and ammo cost. It is a balanced weapon that, currently, bears no minimum range nor move penalty, making it ideal to fulfill a support role.
Recommended gear[]
- Glasses to further increase its decent range, with some variants increasing accuracy as well.
- Ammunition Pouches/Bandoliers to decrease its long reload time.
- Commando Gear, which offer a combination of decreased reload time, increased damage and higher ranged combat.

Trivia[]
- Like the M-27, it uses C-mags, in which case it would hold 100 rounds, not 150.
