[Idea]: Using machine guns what they were intended for.

Hi all!
Recently I got an idea about making machine guns (Browning, MG42) carry-able/mobile. Most of them are mounted on fortified positions, planes and tanks but are HUGELY limited. It would be nice for players to be able to use (pick) them while walking, just like a normal weapon, except it would make players go A LOT slower and heat faster than usual. I KNOW the game is limited also, so please bear with my idea, and please share your thoughts whether this is good or bad/overpowered along with a reason.

Yeah, the UO expansion added the following weapons:  mg30cal, dp28, mg34
You could choose them as your spawn weapon.  If you recall, they had a slow
deployment animation.  You could often shoot players before they could
get the weapon ready to fire wink

A sweedish modder, Bell, provided something else unique in his AWE mod,
deployable mg42 and ptrs41.  You could carry/mount those anywhere.

Some 1942 mods kind of has the feature of being able to mount stuff, such as the BAR, I know FH does, but there's no animation for it and you have to scroll to it.

Btw. I shot in military with the MG 51, Stgw 57, Stgw 90, Panzerschreck, Antitankgrenades for the Stgw 57, throwed plenty boxes of grenades.

First time i used a K31 and a Stgw 57 when i was 15 years old at a field shooting.


Here the MG 51

According to Wikipedia, the MG-42 is still used by many armies in the world. This means that it's not even outdated, really that much.

Not an actual MG 42 per se, but it's successor the MG 3 using 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge and a reduced RoF.

Snipers would have a field day picking off the guys lugging a machine gun never mind taking them out once they got it set up.

Re: [Idea]: Using machine guns what they were intended for.

I like the idea but I don't think you can make them to be carried or a "MG class." I'm no modder, but that's kind of what I'm picking up on here. I've seen other games and mods do it though.

My dad brought us to this event where he was stationed and we got to see all kinds of stuff. Including guns. He showed me the different MGs that they would have on his helicopter. He told me to pick them up (i was like 8 then 12 at the time). All i remembered was my arms almost dying due to the weight lol. I would hate running into battle carrying one of those things .

Can't agree more. But what about the idea/video Sparrow provided? Is that any better?
