I voted other, because you forgot the GAU-8 Avenger Gatling-type rotary cannon which is mounted on the very sexy A-10. It is the largest, heaviest and most powerful aircraft cannon in the United States military. I assume you meant any type of machine gun, right?

Ah, ok then. Once again, I choose other for the Stoner LMG, the one made for the SEALs.

Wait, the Galil is just the name for the weapons platform the MG is based off of right? Because I'm pretty sure the Galil is also an assult rifle AND a sniper.

I voted for the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, with the MG36 in a close second.

Er... the Galil is an Assault Rifle, that was modified as a machine gun.

MG42 for its historical impact. It was called 'Hitler's buzzsaw.' The human ear cannot detect each bullet being fired; instead it can only discern a 'buzz' when the gun was fired. In WWII it was as much a psychological weapon as a truly lethal one.

Hmm, I like the Mk 48 Mod 0, which is based off the M240, and the Mk 46 Mod 0, which is made from the M249, but I also love the minigun and the MG 36, so I just put the M249, since the Mk 46 pretty much is a special ops version of the M249.

Minimi; what the M249 SAW is based on. The Minimi is superior to the SAW, I believe (though I'm not sure) and boasts a two hundred round magazine instead of the M249's one hundred round version.

But this whole poll is in the wrong context; there's LMGs, aircraft weapons, and mounted machine guns. And where the hell is the GPMG?

well, if a mod can add those that would be great, but since this is in the Ground Forces section, then that would exclude aircraft.



note to mods:add as poll choices, M-2 50 cal, M-1919 30 cal, Minimi, MG-36, M-240,and XM-307 (look it up)

Well, it never did specify what kind of machine gun... Oh just thought of another one. The Phalanx CIWS. That thing is crazy man.

Yeah, but the main gun in it is an M61 Vulcan, as far as I can remember.

Another good MG was the Browning M1919 .30 caliber LMG.

There is nothing LIGHT about the M1919.......... :lol:

If you want light, you go for the MG34 or MG42 not just ofr the weight, but for the rate of fire.

Miniguns aren't cnsidered in the same class as a machine gun...

I love the RPD, though the M2 Browning, the M249, and the M240 are cool as well.
