there isn't a need for an LMG in this game. An LMG is a weapon that (in RS) normally shoots a carbine set round (5.56), at a bit of a higher rpm then what an AR can do w/ longer duration.
If you add an LMG, you'd have to then buff the damage of the HMG (which really would hit close to being OP, as seeing how even a basic HMG is nasty), and have an LMG do less damage then the HMG, but have a higher rof, which wouldn't work, as the HMG is already at 2k which is probably to fast as is.
By adding an LMG class you'd have to rework the entire HMG weapon class of damage, rof, "recoil", etc? It just wouldn't be a feasible addition to the game. |

You didn't read my post again, and you don't know about real lmgs. Lmgs do not have a higher rate of fire than a mini gun. What the OP wants is an HMG for all classes. I say no, but read my other post.
i wasn't reading through 3-4 pages of the forum on my phone.
Also, i know what an LMG does IRL; however im going on the basis of CCP calling the weapon we have now an HMG, meaning a machine gun using a heavy caliber round (i know it is a minigun, however im taking CCPs wording to what they call it). By example of an LMG, the rpm is ~ that of an AR, some higher some lower; but the muzzle velocity exceeds that of an AR; along w/ a longer range
Whereas an HMG, have a longer range & muzzle velocity then both an LMG & AR, yet has a lower rpm. Yet if you look at a minigun, it fires same round as an HMG at a higher rpm yet a bit shorter range (yet also these are almost exclusively used on vehicles)
As even if you want an LMG to be a "light" weapon, it will still cause balance issues, w/ its stats (damage, rof, etc) along w/ fitting costs. I can only imagine what would occur w/ a scout suit running an LMG |
