The Colt–Browning M1895, nicknamed “potato digger” because of its unusual operating mechanism, is an air-cooled, belt-fed, gas-operated machine gun that fires from a closed bolt with a cyclic rate of 450 rounds per minute. Based on an 1889 design by John Browning and his brother Matthew S. Browning, it was the first successful gas-operated machine gun to enter service
The gun itself served in:
Spanish–American War

.30-40 Krag
.30-06 Springfield
.303 British
7.62×54mmR

The gun itself should come using a belt of 50 round but because of the lower BR it should be heavy penalized on the recoil if the soldiers isn’t belly down or in fixed position for ensure balance
Colt-Browning M1895 in Italian use during WW2
The Italian examples, in addition to being chambered for the 6.5 × 52 mm Carcano service cartridge, were converted for water cooling, with the installation of a narrow brass sleeve around the barrel; the M1895/14 thus modified, designated 6.5/80 was used by the Regia marina, both assigned to the units of the Marine Regiment, engaged in the defense of the Piave, while some examples were installed on MAS, on F-class submarines and on some destroyers. During the Second World War some examples were still used by DICAT and Milmart for the anti-aircraft defense of the metropolitan territory.
50 round LMG for BR2 sounds very fair and balanced, I can’t see anything possibly being wrong here. How about all LMGs fuck off to BR3, BRs are extended to 6 or even 7, and BR spread adjusted to strict +1/-1 instead so low BRs are playable?
Lol. Lmao even. You’re already so incredibly coddled. You likely don’t even know how coddled you are! And you want more? It’s borderline pathetic. Just learn how to aim and pull a trigger. Boom. You win every single firefight in Low Tier matches just like that
It is a mounted gun, you need a tripod to use it there is no firing it without setting it up on a tripod. or what hold it by the grip and what use the for arm as a mount. worse try to grab the front as if it had a grip. this is a fixed gun it is bad enough using German guns as lmg’s/assault rifles.
