[KevBaz]

Yeah, good ol' "gimpy". I just love 7.62 MGs!

[mikeb]

Nice!

Will definitely get hold of that for UK units.  LSWs just don't do the job on the field (the weapon, not the addon!)

[Big-Boss]

Yeah, LSWs are pants.

Pfrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (expanded the tiny magazine)

Whereas "Gimpys" rock.

DADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADA!

Having tested this baby I can definately say it rocks.  I haven't handled the real weapon or even heard it (that I can remember) but this, well throw away that M60...

I do know he is improving it even more....

[KevBaz]

yup this addon is a beast, he is improoving it by adding a bit more detail and some better textures, all the info is on the site

[ShadowY]

Throw away the M60  

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I LIKE MY RAMBO ASSAULTS WITH IT TO MUCH ;D

nice gpmg  but....... :-X

LSW are better in some ways. :
1- a lot lighter
2- easier to handle
3- alot cheaper
4- easier to clean

GMPG has it good points
1- you can have a cup of tea while ur firing at the enemy if ur rambo obvioulsy
2- kick ass weapon


but it gives a hell of a kick back if ur not holding it correctly

LSWs still suffer from the many SA-80 problems.  Although the A2 is out now.

LSW is also oddly balanced on the weapon sling as it was designed for the SA80 - too much weight at the front.

Basically my point was that it "doesn't do what it says on the tin" effectlively enough.  It's light, it's a weapon, but it's not an efficient support weapon.

As for being light and having a substantial recoil....  better stop skipping Physical Training!  

[Big-Boss]

It's just not good enough to "keep heads down"! It's more like a really cheap, under powered sniper rifle. an unreliable one at that.

(The A2 has all of the old problems with the added frustration of a bigger C-Handle)

[DeadMeatXM2]

It's true, having handled the SA80, LSW, and GPMG, on ranges (SA80 on the SAT range, 'bout 1500rds in a morning - Flt Sgt will know what i'm on about)

I can say that the LSW SUCKS, its basically a heavy version of the SA80, no real improvement in range, maby accuracy, but other than that - hmmm.

I say, MAKE A GPMG!

It's a Mans gun

[KevBaz]

we have made a GPMG look at the pic above alot more has been done to it scince that pic

[DeadMeatXM2]

I knew that,  , i was just saying...

read the content of my post

(No offence, just explaining what i meant)

[Wires]

This is a great add-on as there are quite a few countries that use it, plus it's an awsome weapon  ;D

[DeZzErX]

Yea, Belgium uses it too (pretty logical seeing we developed it...) but even US forces use it on the bradley and stuff.
