MG42 for insurgents.

[SlutLord3000]

The way I see it. Is the insurgents are happy to get any weapon they would like. So a great lmg like the mg42 would not be rejected. Tell me what you guys think.

It would probably be an MG-3. Would be fun to use.

[mr.pink]

Yeah, definately fun to use. But one thing I dont understand than.. on the one hand the insurgents use all weapons they can get, on the other hand they have surpressors, lasersights and badass optics, just like the security forces :p

The mg42 is actualy still in use as a modern weapon and IS quite expensive, and very hard to maintain. They wouldn't like it because of this maintaince, and ofcourse the price. And it being a weapon not readily available. (No just because its from WW2 doesnt mean its easy to get, as I said this gun is now a modern LMG as well)

[Heavygunner]

Nope

Why is there an assumption that insurgents can obtain rare antique WWII collectors guns more easily than mass-produced weapons from the Cold War?

For every MG-42 in the Middle East, there are at least 1000 PKM's. Have you ever looked at real photos of insurgencies in the Middle East? What LMGs were they armed with? 9/10 times it will be a PKM, and 1/10 times it will be an RPD, RPK, or something else. Pakistan uses the MG3, and yet virtually none of the Taliban have seen fit to lug that heavy clunker across the border.

The F1 grenade and Mosin are really the only legit WWII inclusions in the game, and the Mosin is obsolete and useless now that we have the FAL. The MP40 should be replaced with a Mk4 Sterling or Beretta M12. The authentic replacement for the M1A1 is the AKs-74u, which is already in the game, so there's no point in keeping the M1A1.

it's more just to have another gun to pick from...at least that's what i beleive (even though no one uses it)

I agree with you but the guns should be picked based on regional availability. Put the PKM in the game.

The MG42 is heavy as hell and would need to be balanced by somthing on the security side.

I could imagine the security getting the updated MG-3 as the balancing counterpart but that would be kinda silly.

In conclusion no MG42 should not be added to this game.

no it would be an mg 42 as they use the MP 40 even though other options like the uzi and mp5 exist
