The MG-12 Recoil-operated Machine Gun was Tyrrell's first mass produced machine gun. Invented by the human Republic of Voskgardia in the 2912th year of the Second Age, it was one of the strongest weapons during the War of the Dawn. Its reveal and subsequent use turned the tide of the Battle at Tirgaard Crossing, and it was indispensable for the Voskgard defenders throughout the next few years. Though now outclassed by more modern designs, the MG-12 retains a near mythical status in the histories of humanity and the Elderkin.
The MG-12 is a long barreled machine rifle constructed of iron and steel. It is belt fed, firing 7x57mm 'V' rounds, constructed of lead and brass, and uses a Voskgardian blend of smokeless gunpowder.
The MG-12 was created in secret by the head engineers of Voskgardia. It was the culmination of years of research and painstaking development, with it's development obscured by rumours of strange sorcery and unseen Field manipulation.
