So your telling me that an HMG is not better at suppression fire than an AR.

Damage 40
ROF 800
Effective range 60 meters
Clip size 200
Max ammo 1000
Reload time 5.0 s
Meta Level 1
Slot (H) (if CCP could add it then an M slot and change commando's slots from L to M)
Mount time 2 seconds (can't fire till mounted press R1 to mount X to dismount)
Iron sights
Heat build up 7 per round to 100

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?

How is this better than a Duvolle AR?

Lmg is a light machine gun wich defeats the purpose of it being a heavy weapon

That would put it right back to where the HMG is. I'm looking for a distance weapon for the heavy.

I didn't mention anything about it being short ranged.

I still think it would be OP to be able to fire at any time, even with wide dispersion.

Think of any FPS game where an :LMG has a spool up time.... I don't think there are many, if any. LMG with higher than AR dispersion, RoF, increased bullet damage, and increased range, but higher CPU and PG costs seems pretty balanced to me.

if this lmg is a heavy weapon then why does it have the word light in its name?

If i can move with a HEAVY machine gun why should a light version immobilize me? besides have you seen how slow heavies move?
