* Failure lets the character move to cover on the desired Side, but Stealth is broken.
If you activated '''[[Danger Close]]''' beforehand, you can still perform a stealth cover switch, as normal; success simply maintains Stealth but does not place you behind cover.

== Machine gun emplacements ==
''"Machine gun emplacement" and "MG emplacement" redirect here.''
A '''machine gun emplacement''' (or '''MG emplacement''') is a special type of cover combining sandbags, defensive shields, and a non-removable machine gun.
Although the machine gun can be used like any other weapon on your Side of the [[Battlespace]], you cannot take it or equip it. You may, however, take its [[ammunition]] and [[ammo belt|ammo belts]] and reload it with your own.
MG emplacements are exclusive to select towns. They can typically be found at specific [[Town Entrance|Town Gates]], providing [[TownSec]] with a powerful means of defense against invasions, whether from monsters, raiders, or otherwise.

=== MG emplacement locations ===
The quality and firepower of a machine gun emplacement are usually reflective of the [[Civilized Areas|town's population.]] As the saying goes, "the larger the town, the bigger the bullets."
* Towns with a '''Very small''' population do not have access to MG emplacements. TownSec in these towns relies on an additional block of concrete and their personal weapons instead.
* Towns with a '''Small''' population use the '''5.56mm MG emplacement.'''
* Towns with a '''Medium''' population use the '''5.8mm MG emplacement.'''
* Towns with a '''Large''' population use the '''.30 cal MG emplacement.'''
* Towns with a '''Very large''' population use the '''.50 cal MG emplacement.'''
