In my revised USMC OOB the HMG Platoon has 4x HMGs and 2X AGLs (the normal ratio the USMC uses).
The only problem is the ammo issue, AGLs come with at best 20 shots, most HMGs 60-90.

Jackal MWMIK with 40mm H&K GMG. Best thing since sliced bread for grunt bashing IMHO.
Thermal sights, 50 bursts of 40mm, plus an SFMG and with light armour and rather nippy.
GMGs are best deployed portee IMHO, rather than on a tripod. Portees carry more ammo, and can nip back to the lines when resupply is required.
