Variants of a medium machine gun I made. It fires 7.62x54mm ammunition, fed from belts held in hard or soft boxes. Through the use of a relatively small conversion kit, it is possible to feed the gun from standard box magazines. However, this is only advised to be done as a last resort, as the machine gun will chew through ammunition relatively quickly, with an adjustable cyclic ROF variable from 450-850 rpm, depending on the variant. Barrels used by the machine gun are specially treated to give them an extremely high heat capacity exceeding that of water, effectively making the gun able to fire for longer periods of time than water-cooled machine guns of the same class. This is prolonged with the use of the quick-change barrel feature installed by default in each machine gun.
Top variant is a heavy support variant meant to be fired form the hip with a carrying handle. It features an optical 1-4x camera sight mounted on the gun feeding to the user's HUD, a heavier, long barrel for sustained fire, and a metal gun-shield. Skeletonized stock is folded. An AN/PEQ 4 is attached on the front to aid in night-fighting and target designating.
Middle variant is an assault variant meant to be fired from the shoulder with an attached fore-grip, or prone with a bipod. It features a 1-6x ACOG scope, and a shorter, quick-change medium barrel for increased mobility. Skeletonized stock is unfolded. An AN/PEQ 4 is attached on the front to aid in night-fighting and target designating.
Bottom variant is the paratrooper variant meant to be fired from the shoulder with an attached fore-grip. It features a red dot sight. It has a shorter, lighter barrel, and the hand-guard/heat-shield surrounding the barrel has been removed, to reduce weight. The skeletonized stock has been replaced with an MP5-style collapsible stock, which has been retracted. An AN/PEQ 4 is attached on the front to aid in night-fighting and target designation.
Another interesting feature of this gun would be the ability to fire in 3-round bursts at a cyclic rate of 1200 rpm, and in semi-automatic, to take advantage of the machine gun's effective range of 1000m. With the addition of zoom optics and a bipod, this turns the machine gun into somewhat of a designated marksman rifle.
I like this. ;p
Thank you! =D
I made this at like 1 in the morning over half-term, and I was partially inspired by Jorge's main weapon from Halo: Reach XD
How do you make them? Its interesting. Can you please PM me? <:D
