The KAG's rate of fire is about twice what it needs to be--you'd empty that 50-round drum in about two and a half seconds, which would be acceptable for an assault rifle but not so much for a light machine gun. If you want a weapon with that high of a rate of fire, you need a belt feed. Also, maybe give it proper adjustable sights.
The carbine looks fine. Maybe use detachable magazines, though.

It's not even a feeding mechanism issue but more practically about keeping the gun in one price. 1150rpm is doable on a gas operated gun but is only really practical or desirable for aircraft mounted weapons for ground use it would just overheat the barrel (and with no apparent quick change mechanism this is a bigger issue) and pretty much batter the gun itself to death.
A more "natural" cyclic rate would be in the region of 800 rpm.
On the rifle it does have a detachable mag but it seems to only hold half the overall capacity which does imply a 2 magazine system that would be odd, clunky, not really at all practical and a bit pointless. Just a single 15round detachabke box mag would be much better and it could even be strictly limited in numbers issued and/or chained to the gun if you want troops to rely on topping it up with stripper clips.

That truly does make a lot of sense, as I was looking at the MG42s RPM, and tried to go with that. However of course it did use a belt. Suggestion noted and taken into account

While you can certainly make such a weapon, chemical weapons usefulness is rather restricted.

If that is fur then a thing to keep in mind is that fur is and continues to be a bit pricey. As such it's best to reserve such things for more specialist/elite units like riflemen or maybe guard/grenadier units. Otherwise it seems fine, the hat kinda looks like Cossack hat so I Imagine it would be fine.

Thanks. Do you know of any sites that lists all of the major infantry hats throughout history so that I might find one without it being either super generic or anachronistic?
