Stoner63

The Stoner 63 is a light machine gun featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Singleplayer
The Stoner 63 can be found at the beginning of the level "Redemption" underneath the side of the crashed Huey (with Reflex, Extended Mags and full ammo), and rarely from fallen friendly characters.

Multiplayer
The Stoner 63 is a "Classified" weapon, meaning it is unlocked by buying all other light machine guns. It has a high rate of fire and low/moderate recoil, but a small magazine size, therefore many users use Scavenger or Extended Mags. Also of note is that due to the Stoner 63's 40 damage and very high rate of fire, it kills quicker than most other weapons in Black Ops, especially at long range. This coupled with its decently low recoil makes it perfect for close-to-mid range combat, and performs very well if burst fired for long distances. It is worth noting that the Stoner 63 is a one hit kill at all ranges in Hardcore game modes. When using "Warlord" with the Stoner 63, you are only permitted to use one sight and the "Extended mags" attachment- due to only being able to use one sight at a time.

In close quarters, the weapon has mediocre hipfire accuracy, however, this can be remedied with Steady Aim. Unlike all other LMGs, the Stoner 63 enters ADS in a quarter of a second, the same speed as most assault rifles. Also, in Create-A-Class 2.0, it is held by the character model as though it were an assault rifle rather than a light machine gun.

Combined with its quick ADS time, good mobility, rate of fire, and relatively fast reload without Sleight of Hand, it is very Assault Rifle-like, and it is usually used like one.
