I formally request it be reclassified as a “SMMG” - Shmedium machine gun.”
-
12:02 that’s not an MG3, that’s a Negev. The MG3 looks exactly like the MG42.

"Ok, but where do you put the bayonet?"
-
"How do you want your steak done?" "Light Medium, please.."
-
'Oh, you have a gun called the REAPER?' 'No, just REAPR.' 'But not like LWRC's REPR?' 'No, completely different thing...we have an extra letter.' 'But not the full six letters?' 'No, we're not crazy...'
-
I don't have any military experience but everywhere shit usually breaks down at the worst moments so being able to repair without specialised equipment seems a big bonus.
-
"It's team-building, hooah?" made me chuckle more than I probably should have.
-
It's interesting how .50 BMG started as machine gun cartridge and was later used in sniper/precision rifles and now .338 Norma Magnum did the opposite, starting as a long range precision cartridge and now moving into machine gun use.
-
Army DoD, "How do we make Rambo stronger?" New guy, "Make him a sniper, Sir."😏
-
"light medium machine gun" sounds a bit contradicting
-
Ah, the perfect squad weapon for long range engagements in Afghanistan. Militaries always adopt the best weapons to fight the last war.
-
The SPMG in ArmA 3 is the GD version in .338 Norma. It is my favorite gun in the whole game. You can clear houses, suppress enemy, and take very long accurate shots with the right optic.
-
Why not just call it Medium Machine Gun (MMG) which fights nicely with LMG and HMG?
-
Amazing that 80+ years later, the MG42 is still largely the inspiration for modern machine guns. What an insanely well designed gun for its time.
-
MMG, GPMG, two terms for the same thing. Most MGs, including the 240/MAG are MMGs. This is a lot heavier in terms of ballistics. This is an actual HMG optimized for anti-personnel rather than anti-materiel. The range for the weight is awesome if the logistics can be made to work.

0:19 Ah yes. Bubba and his Big 50, and no Bubba's spinal injuries are not service related - The VA
-
Full auto sniper bullets... insane Edit: I'm no vet or anything, I just play Tarkov, and 338 is the biggest sniper round in the game. JS. Also just putting a scope on a bolty and shooting over 200 meters doesn't make a gun a sniper imo.
-
Nice to see you covering rifles again. So it's as effective as an M2, weighs less, and it's collapsible for easy transport? Triple-win! Hope the logistics can be worked out for field deployments.

When he commented about the average infantry losing one of the pieces and everyone looking of it till 4 that was gold!!
