Overview Rogue Spear Raven Shield Lockdown Vegas Vegas 2 Siege

"GSG 9 LMG, accurate in short range. Capable of long range controlled fire."
— In-game description


The G8A1 is a light machine gun featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. It is available for use by GSG 9 Recruits, the GSG 9 Operator IQ and the APCA Operator Amaru.[1]

Overview

The G8A1 has a fast firing rate and utilises a 50-round drum magazine, allowing it to reload faster than those that use belt-feed systems. Combined with its fast firing rate of 850, this allows the G8A1 to shine with the assault rifles, to an extent, whilst giving much greater firepower.
