The '''.30 Caliber Light Machine Gun''' is a firearm of [[Human]] ground forces. It is primarily used by the [[United Rebel Front]], and it is commonly called the "Confetti Maker" due to its ability to tear apart humans.

==Design Details==
{{References|Design Details}}
The .30 Caliber Light Machine Gun is incredibly inaccurate, although it partially compensates by its high rate of fire. It is only moderately effective at medium range, and long range engagement is near-impossible. At close range, however, then it becomes highly effective. It acquired its nickname from its almost excessive rate of fire, shredding nearby targets into pieces similar to shards of confetti.

Other human firearms can do the same amount of damage with higher accuracy and a similar rate of fire as the .30 Caliber Light Machine Gun. It has thus been phased out of many ground forces, including all [[UNSC]] units in favor of the [[MA5 Series]]. It has since become a standard in the rebel factions alongside the similarly phased-out [[MA3 Assault Rifle]] and [[HMG-38]] due to its availability on the black market, and the difficulty of getting UNSC Grade Weapons.

It is capable of firing both normal and [[Armor Piercing Rounds]], such as the [[MUTA-AP-09334]].<ref>'''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 33</ref>

The .30 Caliber Light Machine Gun may likely be related to the [[M247 General Purpose Machine Gun]], as they both are fully automatic and they both use .30 caliber ammunition.

==Appearances==
The .30 Caliber Light Machine Gun became the standard infantry weapon of the [[United Rebel Front]] around [[2531]]. These rebels used them against [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] when Blue Team attacked a United Rebel Front encampment, [[Camp New Hope]], on the planet [[Victoria]] in the [[111 Tauri System]]. The rebels were killed by [[Kurt-051]] during the process of rescuing the captured Spartan-IIs.

-==Overview==
+The '''.30 Caliber Light Machine Gun''' is a firearm of [[Human]] ground forces. It is primarily used by the [[United Rebel Front]], and it is commonly called the "Confetti Maker" due to its ability to tear apart humans.
-===Design details===
-The CM 300 was introduced in the late-24th century as a [[carbine]] variant of the [[MA3A assault rifle]], intended for use by colonial settlers and security forces. The weapon boasts an extremely high rate of fire leading to its affectionate nickname "Confetti Maker"{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}, and are grossly inaccurate at any kind of appreciable range{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}}, with an effective range of 30 metres.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC328}}
-===Ammunition===
+==Design Details==
-The carbine fires [[7.62x51mm|7.62mm]] (.30 cal) ammunition, and is compatible with [[armor piercing round]]s such as the [[MUTA-AP-09334]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=GOO|GoO|Chapter=1}}

-The CM 300 was originally designed for use by colonists during the ''[[Domus Diaspora]]''. The weapon proved to be immensely popular, leading to unlicensed copies to be produced ''en masse'' well over a century later. As such, surplus CM 300s were a staple weapon of [[Insurrectionist]] forces during the [[Insurrection]] and other criminals. A common practice in this manner was to pair the CM 300 carbine with high-capacity magazines for improvised use as a [[Machine gun|light machine gun]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
-Though retired from UNSC service, it had become popular on the black market by [[2531]]. In that year the Confetti Maker served as the standard weapon of the [[United Rebel Front]] cell led by [[General]] [[Howard Graves]] on the planet [[Victoria]].{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}}
