Mk 48

"Fully automatic LMG. Increased damage and range."

- Description.

The  is a Light Machine Gun featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

The MK 48's slower rate of fire means it is inferior to any other LMG  in close quaters. However, in long range combat, it possesses great accuracy and firepower and is capable of putting down targets through walls in just a few shots, especially with the FMJ attachment. This weapon is ideal for objective gametypes like Domination, where the extremely powerful bullets can allow the wielder the opportunity to kill several enemies from a good position. It has the highest damage and range in its class, needing three shots on target to kill out to an extremely long distance. The number of shots to kill is reduced to two if one is a headshot. Outside of its massive range, the MK 48 takes a maximum of four shots to kill (three if  two bullets are headshots) due to its damage dropping to a minimum of 30. It also has the slowest reload time of any other weapon in the game. The Mk 48 will also reload faster when reloading dry than when reloading while there are still bullets in the magazine.

Rapid Fire can be an effective attachment, speeding up the time-to-kill at close range significantly. While it will decrease range, the MK48's three hit kill range even with Rapid Fire is still greater than the default three hit kill range of the SCAR-H, and the number of shots required to kill only drops by a maximum of one. The Foregrip attachment can be used to counter recoil.
