more bullets = gooder no? why not do this?
>>64331565Heavy
lots of people tried. it's just not as good.
>>64331615Besides weight, why? I know there were quite a few being made/even a few available a decade and a half ago, but why didn't it work out? Spoon feed me for once ;-;
>>64331565it would be heavythe M60 had 7lbs per 200 rounds in beltthe lightweight avenger ammo backpack weights 9lb empty and fits 650 rounds, 650 loose 7.62 rounds would weight 35lbso you are looking at 45+ pounds and no backpack for anything else that isnt ammopretty useless in anything that isnt defending
>>64331627it takes more time and effort to put all the bullets in
They just need a guy whose sole responsibility is to carry ammo desu
>>64331565Weight really, the MG guy already has to have 2 guys to carry all of his ammo for him, all you're doing is making sure someone has to the dedicated pack mule for you

>>64331565This is what we need in Darktide and Helldivers 2
>>64331627There are four ways to use a machinegun, in order from best to worst:-on a tripod-on a vehicle mount-on a bipod-everything elseThis does nothing for vehicles, does nothing for tripods, and has bad ergos for bipods and edge cases. It also adds weight when machinegunners are obsessed with reducing weight since they're one of the heaviest weapons in the platoon.And in return you get...the ability to hipfire for longer periods. If you're hipfiringing for a long period, you should have switched to bipod or tripod already.

>>64331565there is never a need to shoot so much without reloading. Never.
>>64332220Bill of rights not bill of needs
>>64331565It's simply better to carry ammo boxes+belts in an actual backpack vs trying to make an ammo holder into a backpack
because if you can hold that much boolet then you could be holding something way cooler, like a bag full of explosives, grenade launcher ammo, or a whole ass mortar and shellsmeanwhile one guy with 600 rounds isnt nearly as effective as 6 guys with 100 rounds
>>64332013not to mention that a good MG tripod could weigh almost as much as all that ammo
>>64331613I TELL YOU WHAT SON I GOT 225 ROUNDS ON TAP ON MY RIFLE YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT WAR BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, IT'S EITHER YOU OVERMATCH YOUR ENEMIES WITH .308 OR YOU DIE WALLBANGING THEM SUCKERS. THAT, THAT IS WHAT BEING A MAN IS!
You don't need useless, heavy, unreliable crap on your back when you're in a trench.These are all toys for people going through a midlife crisis.
>>64334577I got 10 round sin my SKS and you won't even see me use them because I'm a ninja and ninjas hide innawoods and you can try to clap bang me all you want but the trees conceal my ninja presence. I am a level 10 ninjutsu master, I can make all sorts of things like onaholes from coffee cans and hot glue to strip wire bombs out of picric acid and some TNT I bought at a yard sale. I watched Shinobi: art of the ninja just ten times last week and I'm ready you old fart.
