1. Overview

Crew Served Weapons are static weapons that require multiple people to crew them.

Static weapons need to be manually loaded with ammo when placed down. The user can also unload ammo from static weapons, and place the ammo into their inventory for transport

Static weapons are assembled when a tripod is placed down, and the weapon mounted ontop. The user can then disassemble the weapon back into the tripod and weapon-bag and carry it around for the next deployment.
