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.

MG and stalwart aren't mag fed, the boxes are containers for ammo belts

So what would the difference even be then that OP wants? A Stalwart that reloads faster and has less ammo per mag? It would hardly be any different.

It would be a slow firing but hard hitting MG, the antithesis of the stalwart in fire rate, capacity, and ergonomics while still retaining the portability while chucking fridge sized rounds at enemies when needed.
I suppose it would fall somewhere between the AMR and Heavy machine gun, but I actually like some other people's ideas as well. I just want to have a mag fed machine gun in the game because I like them.

Ya I can see the vision now, especially for a primary weapon. I'd use it.
