Kaizen Surge Twin Barrel Modification Light is a twin barreled selective fire LMG by Kaizen Corp. Essentially a Kaizen Surge TBM, but scaled down for 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition. The conversion process still involved merging 2 complete, separate bolt, barrel, and gas systems with a single trigger system. It uses a short stroke gas piston system, and fires from the open bolt. In addition, the operator can switch between twin and single barrel mode with a secondary safety on the top half, switching the Surge TBM L into single barrel mode will disable the whole upper portion of the firearm, so it would only fire from the bottom barrel. Features include a FG42 style side fed design, quick change air cooled barrels, and 10 rails (8 of them side mounted). It also utilizes a over-under barrel configuration, for better overall accuracy, especially in semi-automatic and single barrel mode(s), and fires from an open bolt for better cooling under repeated firing. This LMG was purposely made slightly heavier on the right side to compensate for possible imbalance caused by the increased weight of the side loaded magazine from the left side. Although it is still a rather heavy defense oriented firearm and still usually carried by 2 men, its significantly lighter weight means that it is more suited for offensive missions, and as a bonus, ammunition from the squad's assault rifles can be used if needed, and can typically hold more ammunition than its GPMG counterpart.
