When used by individuals, these weapons are much larger than the standard shoulder-fired [[rifle|military service weapons]], and require two hands to heft. Consequentially, players move more slowly while holding them, and cannot duel-wield, throw [[grenades]] or [[melee]] opponents while holding the weapons, thus they become very vulnerable to enemy grenades, snipers and vehicles, since they almost can't be dodged.
When used by individuals, these weapons are much larger than the standard shoulder-fired [[rifle|military service weapons]], and require two hands to heft. As a consequence of their weight and bulk, players move more slowly while carrying them, and cannot duel-wield, throw [[grenades]] or make [[melee]] attacks while wielding the weapons; this increases vulnerability enemy grenades, snipers, and vehicles, since the reduced mobility decreases ability to make evasive maneuvers.
 
While originally designed to be fired from stationary mounts, individuals are known to have ripped them off of their bases and carried with the ease of standard infantry weapons. Thus while they have limitless ammunition while in their mounts, once removed and carried the ammo they have becomes limited. Also, the accuracy of the turret can become more of a problem, being handheld of course.


While originally designed to be fired from stationary mounts, they can be removed from their mountings or tripods and carried as man-portable heavy weapons. While mounted, the benefit of ammunition feeds from stores provide effectively unlimited ammo, but once removed and carried, the ammo present within the weapon is limited. In addition, accuracy and stability is typically diminished when fired handheld, compared to being fired while mounted.
