General Electric 7.5mm Light Machinegun

The GE 7.7mm Light Machinegun has been nicknamed the “Death Buzzer” by those that have survived encounters with it. The GE 7.7mm gets its nickname from the sound the cannon makes when firing, a low constant buzzing sound as the auto-loader pushes shell after shell into the breach. The Death Buzzer has a low level of damage compared to most other Exo class weapons, but makes up for its light punch by sheer volume of ammunition. Its designers make the analogy of a beehive. A single bee can sting, but poses little real threat, a Hive however can kill you by stinging you thou=sands of times. This analogy only further enhanced the GE 7.7mm’s image as a “Death Buzzer”.
