Stalcraft Wiki: MG 3
STALCRAFT Meta note
The MG 3 is a 7.62 machine gun with the highest rate of fire and the longest maximum distance in its class, one of the largest magazines and improved recoil when prone, and it can fire a long sustained burst before overheating. Damage per shot is among the lowest for a machine gun, aimed spread is wide and the draw is slow, while recoil sits around the class middle. Damage begins to fall at close-to-mid range.

Damage Profile
How these values are calculated
STALCRAFT Meta draws the damage chart for the selected upgrade level: full damage up to the falloff start, then a straight-line drop to minimum damage at the falloff end. The TTK Calculator and DPS Table use the same falloff model.
It shows damage per hit only, without ammo, armor or body-part multipliers.
Values at each upgrade level come from EXBO's per-level data.
