Description
The 7.62 mm C6 is a Canadian machine gun currently only seen on the C2A1. The C6 is a licensed-produced FN MAG, and as such share many physical characteristics with each other.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
Although attached only to the C2A1 main battle tank, the user ability with the C6 is comparable to any other FN MAG derivative machine guns used in the game. The machine gun is found in the coaxial and pintle mount of the C2A1, making it a versatile secondary weapon besides the tank's cannon.
Available ammunition
The belt choice of the C6 is currently not customizable for neither the coaxial or pintle-mounted version. As such, the default belt with a composition of AP-AP-T bullets is all that is available to be worked with.
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.
Pros:
Cons:
- Considering the C2A1's place in the German tree, the C6 compares unfavorably to the more common MG3A1 in terms of fire rate
- Low armour penetration and low damage output
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
