Machine Guns. I've made the assumption with this and (I hope) all other infantry units that the hand grenade loadout is by convention a multiple of the number of men in the unit. If I'm wrong, such information can be ignored.

Class 4 – MG Section

I’ve noticed that speeds for MMGs/GPMGs are either 5 (222 units) or 6 (40 units), probably according to the ideas of the individual oob designer. Taking nothing else into consideration, I have standardised on 5, if only because 6 is the standard infantry unit speed and I believe that there should be some penalty for the additional encumbrance. I may, however, have gone the wrong way, or this may be one of those cases where a standard speed isn’t necessary; in either case mea culpa.

Israel 465, Mujahadeen 96, Belgium 91 & 92, Denmark 298-302, E.Germany 79, Cyprus 206, Sweden 220-223, and Bulgaria 295-297 have Weight 1, all others have 0.

E.Germany 79 & 211, Romania 96, Red 149, Bosnia 47 & Croatia 47 have FC & RF 0, all others have 1/1.

NVA has reduced crew and size for HMG sections. Probably a country thing.
