Type 97 Japanese machine gun on tripod next to M1 carbine

A Japanese (Navy) Type 97 aircraft machine gun adapted for ground use. This gun was a licensed copy of the British Vickers Type E machine gun and was chambered in .303 British. Note the extremely crude front sight, tripod and wire spade grips. The cyclic rate was up to 900 rounds per minute. Photo courtesy of National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

I don’t know if that style of MG is possible given it recquires two hands just to pull the trigger. Yeah sure we’re shouldering MG 42s in game but that’s slightly more realistic than however one could possibly use these monstrosities. But hey maybe someone can figure it out
