The StA-3 Stova Light Machine Gun is used by the Helghast Empire as a support weapon and emplaced weapon, both manufactured by Stahl Arms. It fires from a 100 round, helical drum and has a very high rate of fire. However, its accuracy leaves something to be desired due to the recoil of the 7.62 x 51 mm HSO cartridge, limiting accurate fire to very short bursts. The StA-3 also lacks iron sights, only providing a mediocre (and rather imprecise) "zoom" which further adds to its horrible accuracy at longer ranges.
