Default Re: HMGs/MMGs and LMGs.

the germans invented the MG34 and MG42 to be used as a general purpose machine gun and consequently did so in the course of the war. so they're LMGs when fired as a squad support weapon
(mounted on a bipod, maybe even drum-fed) and become HMGs when mounted on a tripod, had a scope attached and were served by a crew of 4-6 men. hope this helps
