The Sternmeyer M-5A Squad Automatic Weapon is a machine gun manufactured by Sternmeyer Waffenfabrik.
The M-5A SAW is a bipod-mounted, belt-fed 7.62mm weapon utilized by Arasaka Corporation soldiers and special operations teams, as the corporation does not produce its own squad automatic weapons.[1] The gun is also used by soldiers of IEC. Able to be vehicle-mounted, it fires the same caseless and cased ammunition belts as the Arasaka WXA Remote Weapon.[2]
