Actually the hmg could with a slight modification. If you put the trigger at the bottom it's starting position would be the same as an AR |

I wouldn't mind if we could "deploy" forge guns, becoming a stationary target with increased stability. However, deploying it would have to take a reasonable amount of time, I would hate to see people dropping a tripod, killing, and picking it back up all in 3 or 4 seconds.
Perhaps this same option could be viable for HMG's, I could see an iron sight being viable if this were possible. Could make finding strategic deployment locations very valuable. |

You make a fair point with the re-design of the HMG, but we also need to take into account the weight of the HMG for shouldering it and how much a sight would actually help due to its decreased accuracy over distance.
Would a LMG not be more suitable for this, with slightly higher ROF, lower damage and more accuracy at range? |

It would but I'm working with what we have
Also to me an lmg seems like an assault rifle on roids with about 900+ rof but less accuracy(but more than an hmg) |

True, hopefully lazers will bridge the gap. We'll have to wait and see. |

I really don't think a tri-pod would be a good idea, I was thinking of the suits servo locking in a specific cycle designed to reduce instability and spread some of the shake towards the legs inorder to dissapate some of it. |

Hopefully there will be different classes both anti-infantry and anti-vehicle.
