The LMG

I believe all weapons should have enough ammo to be decently usable. In addition, this really doesn't match what I was thinking that an LMG should be.
Here's what I think LMGs are (no MC-War balancing yet):

• Relatively high firerate depending on the SMG
• High spread when moving
• Not very useful at medium ranges and beyond
• Most effective when in the prone position
• Large magazine, either drum or belt fed
• Medium recoil
• Long reload

Here's what I think the LMGs should be like in MC-War:

• Firerate of the M4A1, or a 3 tick delay average (depends on the LMG, really)
• High spread
• Medium spread when aimed in, makes it useless at long range
• Slowness 1 when holding a LMG
• High recoil
• 6 or 7 second reload
• Magazine sizes ranging from 100 (most LMGs) to 200 (M249 SAW)
• Only 1 extra magazine worth of reserve ammo (1/2 magazine for the SAW)
• 1-3 hearts in damage

Got any example LMGs?
Here's what I'm thinking.

• M249 SAW (high firerate, lower damage, more spread, larger magazine)
• RPK-74 (low firerate, higher damage, less spread, smaller magazine)
• RPD (average stats)

 

Personally, instead of adding new guns to fix the ammo problem we should just give the guns more ammo to start with. This would solve a lot of problems with people wanting to nuke with the automatics and shotguns, but they should not have enough ammo to render scavenger useless.

 

I think @BrawlerAce_ had the best idea for the ammo problem, where all guns would get a load of ammo at the beginning, and then if you were using scavenger, your starting ammo would decrease.
So with, say the P90:
Without Scavenger = 50+200
With Scavenger = 50+14

 

I dont get it. You said you think it should be added later AND never in one sentence. (Hue inactive orange)

Anyway i liek it

 

I don't think this should really be added, we already have a ****load of automatics, how many more do we need?
I think we should be working on adding more pistols than adding more automatics.

 

LMG's in the Call Of Duty series especially in a special mission where you have to use one you can see that it isn't the most powerful weapon, the reload time is ok but even with having a lot of ammo you would be wasting it for long distant shooting by it's damage being low even in close combat. So I think the LMG's are good weapons to add if they are close or realistic.

 

I have personally seen so many suggestions to ending the out off ammo problem. There have been suggestions about new guns and many others. This is a good idea and I would love a new gun, but I think some guns should just start with a little more ammo. For the most part you can at least get an emp with the ammo you have, but some guns eat ammo. I think an LMG would be cool to have but is it the best solution for ammo?

 

nice that you had a idea but i dont think its gonne be added to the update

 

LMG's are support weapons and almost never move and they are high caliber/mm so make it hi damage but make it give u slowness 2 to balance it and relatively long reaload.

Dry for any typo's using may phone.

 

With stopping power on, The LMG would be great in Infected!

 

I have always wanted to have a gun like that :V
+1...
