This is my idea for an alternative to the HMG. It has higher damage than the AR, it has about the same range, bigger clip size, but for its drawback, it should immobilize the user at the beginning of the spool up until the user stops firing. Also if that isn't enough of a drawback you could give it a short deployment time with a limited angle of use. Say perhaps 90 degrees. This way it is VERY good for suppressive fire but you are a huge easy to hit target, that if flanked has to swap to his sidearm or wait to spool up in the direction of the flankers. The benefit for heavies is there is an alternative to the HMG that can kill from AR range. Since the heavies cant move even during spool the HMG would still be better for chasing someone but the LMG would provide better suppressive fire, in a small angle of fire, if your team was defending.
What are your ideas for this weapon?

It should be a laser weapon (Laser Machine Gun) that would fire in a staccato rhythm with each beam at maximum power. It's drawback is that it would overheat really fast, which is where the sentinel bonus would come in handy. It immobilizes you to mount. So it's accurate even though its putting out crazy DPS.
Could not the LMG be a modified AR when modular upgrades are released?
Extended Mags, Range and RoF Upgrades, possible damage enhancers? That I wouldn't mind.
Make your AR a combat/tactical rifle standard, or LMG.

Maybe even giving some specific suit bonuses for the LMGs for heavy suits would help discourage heavies using ARs. I don't blame heavies for using AR's. but this is the idea. Giving heavies a long range anti infantry weapon.
So only heavies could use LMG? Or Heavy Frames like the commando and possible Crusader/commander suits?
