The German MG-42 was a hard hitting Machinegun that fired 7.9mmX57mm Mauser at a ROF of 1500 rounds per minute (25 rounds per second). It fired from 50 or 250 round belts. Its effective range is 1,000 meters.

Give me an internal thermal clip magazine. When the first Thermal Clip is at max heat capacity the gun automatically ejects the spent thermal clip and loads the next one (like modern weapons do with spent brass).

Make it as hard-hitting as the Mattock, as accurate as the Phaeston or Avenger, with ROF of the Revenant. Capacity per clip of 50 with 6 clips in the mag, 350 shots total.

Probably over-powered but imagine it against a rush of Husks, Cannibals and Marauders with Brutes closing and Ravagers in Supporting Fire Positions...
