The LAS-16 Sickle is a primary Special that unlocks at level 25 and appears as the Colt M16A4 (AMR-16 Rifle).
This weapon features a unique "overheat" mechanic as seen in Helldivers 2, but slightly changed up for PAYDAY 2: Not firing the weapon while the magazine is not full will cause ammo to regenerate at a rate of 7 rounds per second, to a total of 100. Fully depleting the magazine will require a reload like usual, and the weapon can be reloaded partially at any time.

The weapon's stats are mostly adapted from its stats in Helldivers 2: Decent accuracy and recoil, mid damage and a high rate of fire.

Uses a slightly edited Galant empty reload animation for both of the Sickle's reloads.

KNOWN ISSUE: Despite not shooting bullets, when firing, bullet casing SFX will still be heard.
