I'm with calling it an APSW.

Naw, that would be included in the ordinary squard firearms

"Most [rifle] teams will also contain a light team-support weapon (an 
LMG or GPMG equivalent), but this is NOT considered a separate weapon 
for firepower purposes - its effect is factored into the overall 
'personal arms' firepower of the team." -DSII p13  

In SGII they're SAWs of course.

Both would be APSWs.

"The term [APSW] is used here to cover such weapons in as 
conventional Medium or Heavy Machine Guns..." - DSII p35  

My problem has been more how to treat HMGs in SGII. I developed rules 
for Heavy Support Weapons, but quite like the look of the class 
one/personal rules that Brian Bell posted recently. Time to do some 
number crunching and playtesting and see how they compare.
