The Valhalla Arms Company Praetorian is a 7.62x51mm General Purpose Machine Gun designed to ultimately replace the M240 Bravo's and M60's in military service. It is VAC's 3rd machine gun produced. The Praetorian has 4 variants 2 for infantry carry and 2 for vehicular usage. Originally VAC was going to enter a War Maiden Mk. 2, but instead the Praetorian busted in. Each Praetorian is composed of a lightweight composite alloy making it a lightweight machine gun. As you can see the bullets aren't lined up with the barrel, this is because the bullets are pushed into a little sink inside the receiver. The Praetorians have no feed tray like traditional machine guns, but take a belt-fed drum magazine instead. And EVERY Praetorian is built the same except the H and C models those are built for vehicular tasks.
