M72 LAW "Light Anti-Tank Weapon" - a standard issue handheld, disposable anti-tank weapon for the U.S. Army since the Vietnam War.

In '83 it serves as the main anti-tank option available for infantry together with the more cumbersome, but reloadable M67 Recoilless Rifle.

One of the most recognizable LMG's of all time - the PKM remains in widespread service to this day and serves as the main LMG for the Soviet Ground Forces in '83.

Relatively light, rugged and reliable - it's a firearm one can depend on.

The M60, commonly referred to by U.S. troops as "The Pig" - an iconic LMG which has stood the test of time; still remaining in limited service despite being first introduced in 1960.
