This is why you don't let me kitbash.

6.5x40mm, 500mm barrel, 850mm overall length.
Feeds either from 30-round box or 66-round drum magazines.

EDIT: MG 13 for page 13? It's more likely than you think!

[EsToVnIa]

What exactly is kitbashed?

You took a generic Destiny-esque pulse rife diagram and added a top rail and straight magazine to it.

[Arcerion]

Thats what your SAW and GPMGs are for.

tbf in vietnam this was the m16a1

Still had the M60s though. And 7.62 in a jungle with an angry teenager behind them would have been good enough.

M60 was too busy being jammed

>diagram
lol

And the reason I say kitbash is because there are parts from four different guns on there.

It's like you don't know how to oppresssuppress correctly.

Mg-34 can be upgraded to same standard as MG-42.

Take the 34S for example. So much suppression you can hear your old neighbor back home yelling that she'll call the cops.

[Purpelia]

I read somewhere that a lot of German soldiers preferred the 34 on account of the fact that it killed people just as dead but did not use as much ammo as the 42.

"Hans, how many?" "20, with 2 belts left!" "Fritz!? FRITZ WHERES YOUR AMMO!?" "Sorry Herr Sergeant, i was using this Mg-42 and i used all my ammo on those surrendering Bolsheviks!" "How many?" "4."

[Nirvash Type TheEND]

It's kind of surreal to think I'm old enough to remember way back when the thread generally understood how suppression works.

In the words of me

[Puzikas]

I can't remember breakfast

That's the vodka though

[Radicchio]

Can i assume that shaped charges are more effective against MRVs?

I just got done with 6 hours of rolling out puff pastry. You're gonna have to go easy on the acronyms.[/quote]

Mine Resistant Vehicles, sorry.

Also: puff pastry? are you a baker? I am a Chef.

Though my experience with the two stems purely from Red Orchestra 2 (it does strive for realism in most regards though, which is the only reason I'm bringing it up), I prefer the MG34 over the MG42 for that reason. I don't have to reload as often, the barrel doesn't heat up as quickly, and it's capable of semi-automatic fire.

@Nirvash: While suppression is a valid benefit of high fire rates, I feel like you're going to try to keep your head down whether it's 900 RPM or 1,200 RPM coming your way. I'd think that the former would also allow you to suppress an area for a longer period of time, and wouldn't need a barrel change quite as often (thereby reducing the odds of your MG nest getting charged). Of course this is pure speculation on my part, and obviously the MG42 did something right considering its reputation of terrifying Allied troops.

Being a machine gunner in RO2 makes you really appreciate how quickly ammo gets used.

[EsToVnIa]

tbh most satisfying thing in RO2 is when a banzai charge works

Why nobody uses swords in todays military context.

You get killed by a marine whom you just had to charge his GLORIOUS BROWNING M1919 30. CAL MACHINE GUN.

Let's get a squad going in RO2. Puz is our leader.

I'm tired.
