To have the LMG do more dmg then the HMG AND have the same clip would be OP as there would be no point in the HMG.
The idea of adding a LMG is a valid one but, as you can see, not all that popular 
+1 for posting your suggestion as it is the only way CCP can learn what the ppl want.
Hmmm I suppose I can throw my 2ISK in the pot.
How about;
More Dmg then the AR
More ammo then the AR but less then the HMG
Wild recoil (even with operations lv 5) so even with it's high DPS it is hard to actually hit the target.
Slower fire rate the AR (Default would be about equal to the Breach AR)
Very slow reload (still faster then the HMG though)
Has a lot of bullets and deals damage but the balance is it's slow reload and the fact that hitting the target very difficult. Spraying wildly at a group of enemies could easily disperse them as just a few shots will do them in and they wouldn't want to give you an easy shot.
Eh... that's all I got. Thnx again for the thread.

I'm sorry I worded that wrong. I meant in between the HMG and AR.
Or same damage as AR just longer range and huge clip.
But if course I didn't mean stronger than HMG
lol yea your wording was kinda misleading.

Ghost Wolf Garven wrote:My suggestion was going to be like yours but I worded everything in this topic wrong.
The gun would be like this:
Slightly more damaging than the AR
Fire rate is equal to the AR Breach
Slower than AR reload by half
Recoil - Medium/High
Range - a LITTlE bit longer than AR
Can be weilded by medium and heavy, except for Scouts/light
Again, I am very sorry I worded that wrong.
Doing this would mean adding another weapon size (medium) as keeping the LMG as a light weapon would actually allow irresponsible lights to wield it anyway. I say "irresponsible" because no light frame should ever use such a weapon as it doesn't match there role in the least.
Either way I like it

Yea it seems the way the game is, the LMG would just be stepping on the Heavy's toes
Perhaps when the balancing is done (it's never done so lets just wait a year) a LMG might be more viable, but for now it doesn't seem to have a place in DUST (this depresses the crap outa me....and I'm a scout!)

The magazine I proposed is a bit small, only 700 damage per mag. I will alter the original post to have the weapon hold 50 rounds in a mag and 300 max. with an 8 sec. reload time. This will alter the weapon's damage profile to be 1750 per mag at standard level.
The stats are quite balanced but the issue is that it will make HMG less viable as an experienced player can overcome such cons were as even experienced players still struggle with the HMG.
If the HMG was more balanced (I would die ALOT more) then the LMG would be less of a FOTM item.

Exactly, some of the weapons for medium class are ridiculous. Such as the swarm and plasma, as you mentioned. It just doesent seem to fit the size for the mediums as much as they fit for heavy. So that's why I'm suggesting another kind of weapon. A 'brother' to the AR and HMG, the LMG. For medium and heavy.
As long as the sniper rifle remains a light weapon and the MD is bumped up to medium, I'm fine with this.
Lights don't need to be using those types of weapons anyway.

I think that it would be ok.
Or you could take the less creative method used by the SMG, AR, HMG, and SR.
Just call it "Light Machine Gun"
