Mounted Machine Gun

[StealthGirl]

We have traps, barricades, and all sort of neat stuff.

But, why not have a stationary Mounted Machine Gun as well?

It would be a very rare military spawn, and it would require rare military grade ammo belts.

They can be set and mounted, and even retrievable if needed to move into a better position.

At the expense of it's damage input, it would be able to rapidly fire faster than any gun in the game, scattering like a shotgun would from a long distance.

And to expand on this idea, certain vehicles would either be able to have this attached, or spawn with it itself.

Ammo belts would also be required to reload and fire this weapon, and they also should be craftable.

Sounds OP. You could make a base with one entrance mounted with MG and pwn all people who come near it.

Cars sound ever worse. You basically got a killing machine going 50 km/h.

That is why I suggested toning down the damage input. Didn't you listen?

Also the spawns would be very very rare. A little under the APC's.

Think of it like the Uzy, with a smaller spread, still big, but smaller, and a much much larger magazine.

who cares about the damn damage if you fire so what. It doesn't stop you from mowing down your enemies. Anyways, what with the rarity ? If someone finds it, basically you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

You don't really have a good idea of what the Uzy's damage input is do you? It is slightly weaker than a colt, which doesn't make it very powerful in terms of damage.

Also, it has a spread. It isn't even remotely close to any sniping weapon, and it only can fairly hit at a medium and short range.

It won't be OP, because it isn't that accurate, that damage intensive, and very rarely, if ever, spawns.

It will only be a good defensive weapon if facing a large crowd, or a close encounter.

It's Pretty over powered. What might make it better is extremely rare ammo that runs out easily, so you cant just go on a joyride killing everything that moves for an hour

How is having something so inaccurate and low-damage yielding overpowered? The only thing going for it is the amount it can shoot per second.

[Ezioblade12]

how about you can only craft it and you need 5 full military boxes + 15 scrap metal + 4 sheet metal to create the ammo and it is 200 rounds

Sounds nice about it having on vehicles and special ammo belt but no mounted on base and craftable ammo too op, if u want to have an idea of a unturned vehicle that can mount a gun, go check out infamous player's APC model in the artwork section, just search APC

Sounds nice, but I would like something like a Maxim machine gun or the MG-34. The MG-34 is a machine gun that can be used by one guy, but cannot be held when fired. It would make sense that these would jam and would require maintenance to repair.

Machine Guns usually are meant to keep the enemy under cover while another team goes around to flank their position, this would mean that you would need to learn before running through machine gun fire. We also already have a Dragonfang and Nykorev, we could simply find a tripod to mount this to a base as a static weapon. I would enjoy having an MG 42, a very famous German machine gun that can fire up to 1200 RPMs, this means that to balance this, every certain amount of rounds or uses, you need to un-jam the gun. Ammo might be somewhat rare, but it certainly isn't going to be Railgun rare, it is after all just a normal bullet. Maybe once your belt runs out, you could fill it with Military Boxes. Machine Guns aren't too OP, they aren't the most accurate weapon ever, and as mentioned above, are meant to keep the enemy under cover or to kill large numbers. Maybe slightly more-rare than the LMGs currently. I also remember on DayZ, you could find vehicles with GMGs, I never believe that these will be added, that and the fact it was based off a Tactical Shooter (Arma)

How about a tripod that lets you attach any gun to it for a mount that removes all recoil and accuracy loss?

[sußzitrone.ipt]

While I agree with the stationary machine guns part (build a base a put machine guns and sandbags on top, yeah!), I just can't agree with car-mounted guns. Two ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with a car and a Nykorev already get on my nerves, a Nykorev-like gun with lower spread would be just a nightmare.
Oh, and an idea: It should be very slow to deploy, and it deploys empty. Reloading should also take long. This should make it harder for people to just mount one at the side of your base and destroy everything.

Sorry, you accidently posted this in the unturned forum, not the battlefield forum.

mfw people assume it would be overpowered

really it's just opening you up for snipers
