EM1 is a very different LMG from the rest of the NC arsenal. EM1's strength is suppression fire in close to medium range. The weapon is a reliable point holding weapon. This is not a accurate burst-fire weapon typical of NC weapons. EM1 has a large ammunition pool and quick reload speed. This allows you to prematurely fire through lanes via suppression burst-fire even if you don't see the enemy there. The benefits of premature fire is that the enemy has to guess when to enter your lane risking damage. Once you see the enemy, you focus fire. Something which you shouldn't do with the NC6 Gauss SAW. With the EM1, you are given a lot of lee-way. You won't get any accuracy awards with this play-style, but it's effective from a positional stand-point.

I think the EM1 plays best with extended magazines and SPA. Advance laser sight is really there for defensive purpose as the EM1 is really is a defensive LMG. For offensive LMG, I think the mobile LA1 Anchor is better suited.
