Your saying I can’t understand a simple concept?

Your the one claiming that the manual is incorrect and actually lies about the rpm the gun should be fired at. Why would the writer on the manual hide the rpm the gun should be fired at in another part of the book, these manuals are ment to be dummy proof, the information is laid out simply not hidden.

Talking about this - wasnt there something about simple blow back weapons having issues with reliability when using suppressors? Modern guns have adjustable gas ports for different bullet loads, that being said also one of the reasons why most western rifles nowadays use a gas piston system instead of the classical M16 system where the gas blows directly into the chamber to move the bolt is that when using a suppressor - more gas gets also blown back into the shooters face, of course not to mention that gas inside the chamber increases heat inside of moving parts.

Other reasons I can think of might be how a bolt unlocks its bolt after shooting, a gas system starts redirecting gas when the bullet has almost left the barrel and only moves the bolt when the bullet has already left the gun (recoil that starts before that could theoretically shift accuracy by quite some bit)

Well, many firearms utilizing a blowback system, which uses the expanding gas to cycle the weapon, can use a suppressor, but it’s crucial to select a compatible suppressor and may require tuning to manage the added blowback. High-pressure gases created by a suppressor can increase blowback, leading to potential issues like gas in the shooter’s face, increased parts wear, and reliability problems. Modern suppressors are often designed to reduce blowback, but some traditional models can increase it, so compatibility and proper selection are key.

But there are better options that saw service and we have more information on them, so I’d prefer if the guns that went into service were added first and if there’s still a need for a br4 mg then I suppose the Devs might have to resort to prototypes.

just drop the german mg to 50 rounds at br4 while a sad gun the johnson lmg would go from pathetic to adequate, otherwise the us need a different gun none i can think of were used in combat

The allies is a collection of US and commonwealth forces, it doesn’t have to be a US gun, the UK had the Vickers k gun with a 60 round mag. A potential br4 US mg could be the m1919a6 as the bren 100 has already been downtired and their both similar.
