Heavy Automatic Rifleman (GPMG kit)

Expendable Grunt · Post by **Expendable Grunt** » 2008-02-28 04:35

Came up in some other thread. Figured I'd bring it up again to see what was up with it. Whether or not I think it's a good idea isn't as important as seeing what others think about this.

Most jobs have a similar kit that does a related task.
AT has Rifleman AT and Heavy AT.
Long Range Anti Infantry has Marksman and Sniper.
AA has Rifleman AA and the deployable AA (officer kit).

The GPMG kit would be a "bigger" brother of the Automatic Rifleman.

1 Knife
GPMP with 1 belt
Bandage

Each faction would have their own, with the same restrictions as the Heavy AT kit.

MEC would probably use the MG3 I'd guess. US would deploy the M240. Not sure what the PLA would deploy -- I've heard they use something like a PKM, and those DO exist on HoH, so maybe that's it? Insurgents wouldn't get this at all. Britian would use the GPMG on the landrover. Militia could perhaps change automatic rifleman into one of the AK-47 like MG's we talk about, and use the PKM as their Heavy AR kit.

Anyways kick it around and all that good stuff.

I believe the M240G is usually operated by 2 men, so it wouldn't be possible.

PLA would use this:

QJY88, Currently used by airborne and land forces.

IIRC, one has ammo and the other has the actual weapon.

I limited it to 1 belt to add some reliance on ammo riflemen.

Neat weapon.

Well with the limited ammo supply you really need a buddy with an ammo bag at hand. There's your second man.

i was just about to say that... but otherwise good idea, could be very useful in defending situations. Also i propose another kit that is basically rifleman but with both scope and ammo and for a squad to have the GMPG 1 kit there needs to be one person with the GMPG 2 kit.

Make it work similar to the H-AT with the delay (to simulate setting up, etc), but not as long as the H-AT though I would assume. Maybe.

I like the idea, but might as well do the ammo thing for the Support kit as well?
