Vasilakis-Chaconas Ekp 1342

The Vasilakis-Chaconas Ekilypo 1342 is an air-cooled medium machine gun designed by Ermis Chaconas and produced by Vasilakis Arms. It has a distinctive appearance, with disc-shaped cooling fins around its massive barrel.   It was adopted as the standard MMG of the Kaisan Army in the early days of the Last War. The Kingdom of Campeni adopted it as well. It has been produced in several calibers.

The Chaconas Ekp 1342 uses 24-round metal strips inserted from the side (1.5 lbs., or 26.4 lbs. for 12 strips in can) -- or alternatively, 30-round strips (1.9 lbs., or 15 lbs. for 6 strips in can). The strips connect to make crude belts, if required. A spare barrel weighs 23.3 lbs. (treat as extra-heavy for sustained fire). The Ekp 1342 mounts on a tall, 53-lb. tripod (2850 G), usually equipped with a metal seat for the gunner).   The original model, the Vasilakis-Chaconas Ekp 1325, with a 36.5-lb. tripod, saw limited use, mainly by the Kaisan Colonial Auxiliaries. However, it was exported in several calibers.
