The Malone MK.2 (simply known as a Malone) is a Warden Machine Gun. It is chambered in 12.7mm, and is used to attack and suppress enemy infantry and structures.
Description
The Malone MK.2 is a Warden automatic 12.7mm primary weapon with medium damage (35-52 Heavy Kinetic), very high fire rate (300 round/min), long range (27m effective, 40m maximum), massive magazine (125 rounds), and a heavy weight (200). It massively slows down the player when held in hands. It can only be fired in the crouched or prone stance or if the player has cover in front of them to rest the gun on. It is fairly accurate and very stable, only losing accuracy slowly if fired from a crouched position without cover.
Against infantry, its high firepower and range makes it dominate over all other small arms.
It is good at suppressing garrisoned structures, infantry, and exposed vehicle gunners.
It is very effective against unarmoured vehicles. It can be a threat to light armoured vehicles but will rarely have the opportunity to kill them since it'd require multiple magazines. However, it's very ineffective against heavy armoured vehicles, such as Tanks or Field Weapons, and against ships.
With its 12.7mm rounds, it is able to destroy certain low tier structures.
The Soldier Uniform reduces the Malone's weight by 25%.
It does not stack in the player's inventory (1 per slot).

Must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structures 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Mass Production Factory orders must have at least 3 crates.
Storage
It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot). It can only be stored in the stockpile of Bases (32k max).
Crates of Malone MK.2 can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content. The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
Tactics
The gun does really well when attacking enemies, covering friendly infantry, or suppressing enemy structures. With its limited mobility, the player should be careful not to tunnel vision and make sure they're not getting flanked.
Given the gun's massive slowdown when held, the player should always switch to their secondary when they want to move.
Trivia
- The Malone MK.2 could be based on the French Reibel machine gun, MAC mle 1931 machine gun. Most noticeable is their shared resemblance due to the side-mounted pan magazine and overall shape of the gun. The stock resembles that of a German PzB 39 anti-tank rifle.
