Weapon Proficiency: Heavy Weapons(NeXT)

[Strato]

Heavy Weapons

The modern "heavy weapon" is generally very large and extremely powerful. These firearms have the ability to take down large creatures, vehicles, or swarms of smaller creatures -- including a field of soldiers -- with near impunity. These weapons are as varied and unique as they come, and some will even be used with the skill on-the-fly.

The following weapons are directly affected by Heavy Weapons: anti-vehicle launchers, machine guns, assault weapons, and grenades.
