It's one of those simplifications in SG2. Sure, the machine gun should
have
some impact value. On the other hand, SG2 abstracts a lot of stuff. If
you
assume that the machine gun is in the base fire team, pinning the enemy
down,
while the other fire team in the squad is able to maneouvre around and
do the
actual killing, you have a pretty good idea of what happens with SG2
combat
results.
