MK.48

"A light machine gun designed for special forces."

- The Arsenal

The Mk.48 is an American Machine Gun that is, in reality, a specialized variant of the Minimi that can be chambered with a larger caliber of ammunition.

The Mk.48 has the highest power of any Machine Gun in Combat Arms so far. Its rival, the K3 Machine Gun, has a higher rate of fire but lower firepower. The Mk.48 is deadly when used at shorter ranges, but because of its low portability (which is common in machine guns), the player is vulnerable and ineffective in the open against weapons with longer range. Its high firepower means it can take down enemies faster, although its slow fire rate hinders how effectively it can 'spray down' an area. It is one of the more popular of the MGs and is frequently used.

There are three variants of this weapon: the GP Rare MK.48 CAMO, the NX Standard MK.48 MOD 0, and the NX Rare MK.48 MOD 0 CAMO.

The MK.48 has notoriously large spread and a slower firerate than other MGs, but its enormous damage makes up for it, making the MK.48 the most fearsome machine gun in standard player vs player matches.
