Starting Nov 2011
Probably won't have enough delivered till say July 2012 for it to be Crops wide.

The "fun" never stops!

Probably about same stats as current M16A2 (2) LMG (Weapon #26) with HEK=5 instead of 6.
Yes M27 IAR (2) ( I'm aiming to change the way (2) weapons are named in all OOB's to make finding singles and doubles easier ) would be HEK=5. However, becasue it's being used as a SAW/LMG I'm considering applying the same accuracy forumula that other LMG's get which would bring the accuracy to 19 which closer approximates the firearms function

Full Auto and closed bolt eh ? Interesting ( might be after a long firefight....) at 28 RPM in temperatures over 100 F they really are counting on accuracy. Every SAW gunner is going to need sniper training...

If you're open to suggestions on how to name weapons with doubles and triples I've been using "3x M249 SAW" in my OOB revision. Makes searching on "2x", "3x" easy, and lets the player easily see this weapon is multiple weapons not a single.

From what I read the replacement of the standard M16 gas system with the HK piston one makes a HUGE difference in reliability and heating issues.

As to the replacement of an LMG with an AR, yeah, you will lose a significant amount of your ability to suppress via the "spray and pray" method, but (NOT trying to reopen this can of worms, honestly) improved accuracy means you hit closer to your target more often, and that's a lot more suppressive then rounds whizzing by 10m away.
Also it cuts down ammo expenditure, and that's important to something like the USMC that doesn't have a US Army type logistics tail.
