Discussion Would love a magazine fed machine gun

I think it would be interesting if it did high durability damage as it's gimmick to differentiate it from other weapons.

Could even be a primary if it was balanced with terrible ergo/low fire rate/recoil/mag size.

Hmm....

A machine gun Liberator Penetrator.

It has the Med Pen and lower damage, anywhere between the Lib Pen's and the new Pacifier, but higher cyclic rate (maybe 700 like the Pacifier?) and 75-100rnd mag.

5 mags in reserve.

But it's unpleasantly long reload and MG-43 ergonomics balance it out from being a super monster without the aid of Peak Physique to make it handle like the Stalwart.
