LMG shopping

[COL.TIKER]

the M27 IAR?

[lurkingknight]

that is the one.... stick a beta mag on that sucker and call it done.

[theshaneler]

if you want an LMG that is 100% guaranteed to be allowed at a game, just stick with the more common LMGs, such as an M249 or M60.

it sucks getting a squad together and training, just to get to an OP and suddenly your 2 support gunners cant use their MG36s

M249s have lots of brands making them, CA, A&K, G&P. and come in lots of different setups, mkII, parra ect.

get an M249 and a cheaper entry level AEG, like a KA M4, to use on days that you don't feel like playing support gunner

Bu, bu, bu, but an M60 is a GPMG, not an LMG! D:

Joking aside, M60's are sexy and do the same job in airsoft and the adjustable ROF on the A&K is useful.

naa.. I told the guy that was interested in getting a mg36 to go do what he feels he wants to do. If he wants to run it, that's fine, if he ends up being forced to use midcaps, that's also fine.

Having 10 midcaps holding a total of 1200 rounds vs 1 beta mag holding 1200 rounds makes no diffference... The difference is reloading for sustained fire is a bitch when you have to pull the beta mag out, open it up, pour BBs, reinsert mag.

Either method isn't going to kill him, it just means we have less sustained fire for the 10 seconds he's changing out midcaps.

If you want compact and maneuverable, roll with a Mk46

[COL.TIKER]

With MG36, if allowed at game, great, if not, just clip 3 mags together lol.

it sounds like your friends might be in the same boat as me, as I dont think I'll be playing as many games as I would like to next year, so dropping $600 on CA m249 doesnt sound logical. The A&K was tempting at $400, but I did hear and see alot of problems with them too, so what can you do?

thats why I made the mg36 thread... it would have been great for guys like me and your buddies who want a LMG but dont want to lay down the big bucks for something thats only going to see a handful of games next year

I want my PKM.

yeah one guy will probably do the mg36, the other guy might pick up an A&K m249, still a ways off, so we'll talk about it some more when we get together. They're both fairly big guys so even toting a 249 around for a whole game probably won't tire them out.

Advise your team mates to watch the classifieds here on ASC. I got a really good deal on a pristine CA M249. I will do a few upgrades which will still keep my total expenditure under the brand new price for the same gun (which I would perform the same upgrades on anyways).

The CA Mk.46 is a brilliant little unit. The compact length, adjustable stock and integrated rails make it an extremely versatile LMG. Two guys on my team run a Mk.46; I used one of them at Shallow Lake and quite liked it.

yeah, when I say 'my team is shopping' really it means, they've left it on ME to find stuff and they just hand money over to me. lol

They're not much into forums or doing the whole AV thing, much less online shopping. They're sort of that in between generation where they spent most of their lives without the interwebs.

So your attempting to bypass the av system is what your saying?

[lurkingknight]

lol, they're in their mid 40s, they can go buy whatever the fuck they want from a vendor if they really want.

I'm the youngest guy on our team at 31.
