If you have the RMB they're near the end, close to where the borg stuff is. I don't know where in the RUE they're at though.

RUE has generic firearms listed in the Weapon Proficiency Skill descriptions (pg329), RMB put them separate from their skill descriptions on pg244.

SDC style machineguns have pretty much been replaced by Rail Guns (ex C-40R or NG-101). Bionic Forearm Weapon attachment offers a machinegun option, MercOps has an assortment in the GAW (pg121) and WI (pg100) sections. Per Mercenaries Naruni offers a plasma cartridge-style machinegun (MDC). Some vehicles/bots/PA also sport machinegun weapon systems. There might be other weapons that qualify in the role of machinegun.

The Northern Gun books have a lot of weapons, as does Black Market. Not sure if any of those fit what you're looking for, but it's a good place to shop.

How can we not give you due support and credit?

Black Market, pgs 140-141 has the BigBore "Firehose" SAW, along with a selection of other weapons.

Merc Ops, pg 100 has the WI-MG15 "Viper" along with a selection of other weapons.

Merc Ops also has generic stats for SDC weapons on pg 120-121.

There's also common machineguns in the Rifts Game Master's Guide (RGMG) p128.
Some gave all.
