"Larga vida a la Ametralladora Ligera"

- (Translated from Spanish: "Long live the Light Machine Gun") is an Light Machine Gun in Tom Clancy's The Division, it was added to the game in Update 1.8. Its handling and special talent encourages firing the weapon from cover and mowing down enemies with its extreme rate of fire.

Overview
The CETME Ameli is a machine gun of Spanish origin. It was developed in the 1970's by CETME and adopted in the early 1980's. Ameli is short for "Ametralladora ligera", which is Spanish for "Light Machine Gun".

The Ameli looks like the MG3 from the outside, but is very different internally. It uses the roller delayed blowback mechanism that is also employed in the Model 58 and Model L rifles. Belt boxes can be attached to the weapon and feature a translucent rear cover to indicate the remaining amount of ammunition.

The Ameli fires the 5.56x45mm NATO round from 100 or 200 round disintegrating link belts. The only setting is fully automatic fire at 900 rpm.

is its own weapon and not an immediately identifiable variant of a preexisting light machine gun (LMG). The gun features a body with an iron finish with a gloved buttstock and an ammo box attached to the bottom. It is one of the few that a player can change the appearance of by adding a weapons skin. The weapon is modeled off of the real-world CETME Ameli with the barrel of a MG42/MG3.

Handling, Talents and Usage
Two of the most important things to note about outside of its talents are its baseline rate of fire of 1000 rounds per minute (RPM), as well as its baseline magazine (ammo box) size of 55 rounds. This LMG is a real bullet hose, putting a lot of fire downrange very quickly. An extended magazine modification could credibly put the weapon at over 100 bullets per magazine.

As is typical of most weapons,  features two random weapon talents and a third, exclusive talent that makes the weapon what it is:

Every bullet fired while in cover increases weapon damage by 0.5% up to 50%. The bonus lasts for 10 seconds. Getting a kill with this weapon while in cover resets the duration. The bonus damage is cancelled by reloading, swapping weapons, or exiting combat.

To use the it is to strongly encourage continuous sustained fire while in cover and to use a magazine (ammo box) to its fullest. This is why the aforementioned RPM and magazine size are so important to recognize: the high RPM builds the bonus quickly, and the large magazine allows the gun to achieve the max bonus and take advantage of it for as long as the ammo count lasts. Since the bonus is lost when swapping weapons or reloading, an agent is encouraged to commit to an entire magazine's worth of fire if they start pulling the trigger. is the king of suppressive fire, as long as its user is protected behind cover.
