Machinegun
What do you guys think of the machinegun ? I think it is great, obviously effective on short ranges, can get kills on long ranges too and very effective surpressive fire. If the enemy comes under fire from a squad it does not necessarily stop them, if they get sprayed by a machinegun they dive for cover.
If nobody in the squad has it I try to pick it up, unless we are using armed vehicles.
When Iam squadleading I ask one of the guys to pick it up most of the times.
I used it on Kashan yesterday. It worked aright in the bunkers. In south village an enemy squad pouring in from the hills got second thoughts when they got sprayed with machinegunfire and stayed in the hills as long as the flag was in game.
So I was wondering what others think of the machinegun and why so many squads are running without.

Re: Machinegun
I agree. I think that most people just overlook it. They take the basic rifleman or medic as they are the more common kits. I think it depends on how the SL wants to play it, if its a full on fire fight then go ahead and pick up an MG. On the other hand if they would prefer to try and go a bit more stealthy then and MG might not be the best.

Re: Machinegun
I tend to avoid letting people use it unless I know they CAN use it, as alot of people go charging into a place like 5 meters from the enemy, dive to the floor wait and shoot. Should never be used like that

Re: Machinegun
When ever I get to play as a SM ad not SL I grab one.
PKM could be the best / most controlable gun in the game.

Re: Machinegun
I don't like it, MG has nothing on the basic kits. imo, it's more for the hardcore squads that want a true-to-life squad layout. Each to their own, of course.

Re: Machinegun
I like it, but it takes some serious confidence and squad coordination to use it right. The SAW is one of the most distinct weapon noises in the game and you can bet that once you open up with it, every enemy scope is going to be pointing at you.

Re: Machinegun
When I squad lead I like to have a SM use it. Its good for suppression and makes the enemy duck for cover. I highly suggest getting one in your squad. The devs added 6 per team so each squad could get one.

Re: Machinegun
SAW is a beast in undeployed. Controllable in bursts and great for taking out those pesky FAVs, plus great for clearing rooms or mowing squads.
PKM is stupid accurate once you settle it. Coupled with high damage per round, its basically a auto sniper with no scope.
The H&K I only like in deployed mode.
The Chinese auto-rifle just seems like a tweaked regular rifle, then again I don't have that much experience with it. Basically an al-quds?|TG-12th| Namebot

Re: Machinegun
So far the Chinese one is my favourite, I just find it easier to control in undeployed mode on full auto. But the PKM is a close second.

Re: Machinegun
It makes for a great diversionary tactic in this regard. If the SAW gunner sneaks about one side and opens fire, it will quickly draw everyone's attention allowing the rest of the squad to approach from another direction. Originally Posted by NerdyDodge

Re: Machinegun
In my very limited time in PR, I don't really like it. I prefer to move in close with an iron sight rifle than sit out further and give suppressing fire.

Re: Machinegun
In theory the saw is great but since you have to go prone to use it best and it takes longer to setup I usually just end up dead trying to use it on people at distance.
With the right squad it could be good but the delay means you need someone besides you looking through a scope or your'll just be cut down with more accurate fire as you fire a fairly useless stream of tracers off
PKM is next to 50 cal for awesome sound, its the A10 of hand held weaponry
If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have obviously failed to plan properly.
