Default Re: HMGs/MMGs and LMGs.

I think it's because they're the same caliber and rate of fire; you're just as dead if you got cut down by a burst of 7.62mm fire delivered from either a Maxim or a DP.

The differences are in accuracy and range, a MG-34 mounted on a heavy tripod will be far more accurate and have a longer range than the bipod mounted LMG version.
