L108A1 Minimi, which is basically the M249. But yeah, in PR, the M249 is the only way to go in terms of high rate of fire... Not to mention the awesome sound when you fire it

HK-MG is nice on power and has good all round accuracy. However, its not as accurate as the SAW or the PKM. The SAW has deadly accuracy but then again, its only 5.56. The QBZ-MG is kinna wack because its not very accurate in auto, lowest mag capacity and 5.56.
The PKM just PWNZ it has poor all round accuracy, but when fired from the prone position its almost pin point. That with added 7.62 make it the bizzle.
...mongol...

Best-->Worst
Recoil: QBB-95 < M249 SAW < PKM's < HK 21 (no go back on recoil)
Damage: PKM's > HK 21 > QBB-95 > M249 SAW
R.O.F: M249 SAW > Others
Rounds to Overheat: HK 21 > M249 SAW = QBB-95 > PKM's
Setup Time: QBB-95 < M249 SAW < HK 21 < PKM's
First Shot Accuracy: Most > PKM Insurgent
Overall I like the QBB-95 due to its great handling. The HK-21 I feel is the worst since the barrel does not return to its last position since firing like all of the others.

I tend to use the vehicle mounted M2's as support if that counts >_>
as for handheld, PKM and HK21

My favorite? The M249 SAW. You may not be able to trust the bugged M16A2 but the M249 gets the job done.

For all you PKM lovers, guess what the Russian Army support gun will be...
(and it won't have the insurgents reduced accuracy thing)

HK-21, looks sweet, and it packs a punch.
if we do have a PMC faction they should have the HK-21.

It appears that the MEC support gun is suffering from an identity crisis. In the
guide and ingame it is a named a HK21E. The gun ingame however has the characteristics of the HK21 which itself has only semiautomatic and fully automatic firemodes. In order to be a HK21E there needs to be that third, three round burst trigger group. Also isn't 200 rounds magazines (x 3) of 7.62 x 51mm a little heavy for your average grunt to cart along? The gun is also damn heavy at 9.3 kg empty compared with 6.88 kg for the M249 SAW. Instead, shouldn't it have 3 x 100 round magazines like the PKM(the other big, heavy, 7.62 x 51mm gun)?
