HMG should induce fear in any but the very, very well armoured.
But it doesn't due to the very low damage per round (mid to low teens in HP) against the AR damage per round (mid 30 to high 50 HP)
The HMG is a bigger weapon, it should be doing damage in the low 60 to high 80 per round. Its designed for making Armoured Swiss Cheeze out of any thing in its way.
The name used, Heavy Machine Gun, gives a false description of the weapon. It should be called a Light-weight Machine Gun.
Maybe they should rethink the HMG useage, it looks like the 20mm chain gun with HEAP rounds, and retask it as an AV weapon? |

Maybe there are attributes not listed in the weapon description that make a difference, but I don't see how it's an advantage beyond people getting freaked out by the sound and appearance of the gun itself. That's how I seem to bag most of my kills. I agree. Sometimes, it's not even that "freaky" as it's suppose to be.
The "HMG" bullet does less damage than the AR plasma round even though it looks to be a larger bore weapon than the AR.
Its speed is less than its 20th century ancestors, even the man portable ones, they had RoF between 2000 to 6000 rounds/min.
The rotary barrel design is used because it can fire high numbers of rounds WITHOUT EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD UP, it should be able to burn through an entire 300 round clip and not over heat. It does not fire high veloicty rounds, so where is the heat generated??
Why is the clip so small? it would be better to have a clip at minimum 50% larger.
Why is the damage so low for a weapon of its type? It should be equivalant of any AR round.
How much power/energy is 1HP equivalent to? round size*mass of projectile*speed of round=energy release at point of impact
what is the range of the weapon? what is the distance of maximum range?
What type of round is fired?

Where is the balance of the HMG when at close range the Assault rifle out shoots a HMG. HMG rounds should be based on the Assault rifle round of the same size. Modern HMG weapons today use a modified rifle round (slightly more power). HMG is an area suppression weapon, if you hear it you should keep your head down. |
