It's an anti-tank missile launcher that can also be used against low-flying helicopters.
By that same logic a M-16 is an assault rifle as well as an anti-submarine weapon.

major liability, I hate to say this again, but your plan would last for all of about 3 seconds.

So you mean light machine gunners then. The SAW, or M249 or F89 Minimi (all the same thing really) are not heavy machine guns.... not even medium.

Light = 5.56 - 7.62 mm (Man portable)
Medium = 12.7mm / .50cal (Vehicle portable)
Heavy = 14.7mm (Stupid)
