type96 solely because it can make more shots count, has less recoil thanks to itās bayonet, has more ammo in the mag for less damage (not that it matters since both are 1 shot down unless vitality is in play in that case both become a 2 shot) and 50 less rpm
@Life_burns in watching this threads another mistake and you get the consequences

No problem its the same 3 guys that always put up the BAR and its not the first time if they wanna make their post About the BAR being BR II they can they donāt need to go on every post millions and millions of times with the same agendaā¦
And you donāt have go all out breaking multiple forum rule in a single post, and this is an achievement, if you need report X user spamming the same thing over again in a post just mail one of the moderator
I donāt report people as you know I never reported no one I believe in freedom of speech but people that pick up the same fights all the time lead to this type of achievementsā¦ 
And not to mention im not even against the BAR being BR II some people prefer to play a BR where i dont need to play against Hyde M1944,M2 Carabine or Type Hei Automatic rifle but with Type 96 Type 100 and Thompsons and BARSā¦and i think a lot of people would like that also and the people that wanna run with some prototype Automatic rifles can play at BR V and we gonna play at BR II.

How do they compare to ZB abd Bren, considering its essentially the same weapon?
if they want add BAR to br 2, I will ask add BAR for japan faction as well, yes, we have the k7,yes, but I am saying literally add BAR as event weapon for both factions, reason? wellā¦in the combat lessons nĀŗ8, page 23 you can readā¦āno trace of opposition. Just as the 1st platoon crossed
the cemetery path, however, a headstone tilted back-revealing four Japs, armed with rifles and an American BAR. Small-arms fire did not dislodge these enemy, but a flamethrower proved effective enough.ā so if they want BAR for br 2, I will just simply request make it be an event version for both faction and problem solved
BAR is already an event weapon at BR II Iām using it with my paratroopersā¦ but donāt start I donāt wanna listen a lecture again about God Jesus John Browning savior of the world againā¦
for japs?,mmmnh not sure not sure
no the US paratroopers have it from their box when they drop so now I have Thompson and BAR at BR II.
then make only japs have it now muahahaha
Well I suggested at least give type 96 to our paras same as the US have BAR for theirsā¦
cool concept
Not with its current stats, If it was nerfed to fit other BR 2 lmgs then yes.

Well this is a concept how the faction will look finished not a balance tread
ZB has a faster fire rate but a lower magazine, worse dispersion, worse recoil than the 96 and has a slower reload
against the Type 99 itās slightly lower rpm, same dispersion and slightly better recoil while having a smaller magazine and a faster reload
bren versus 96: 96 has better recoil, better dispersion, better firerate while having same magazine size and a faster reload
bren versus: 99: 99 has better rpm, same dispersion as the mk2 (worse than the mk1 by .01) almost identical recoil (same vertical but 18 horizontal versus 19 of the 99) slower reload and same magazine size

Okay, I took a break for more than two months and came back.
I donāt even know where to start.
Your photo shows a Type 1 machine gun, not a Type 3. It was created after the Type 99 by Tokyo Gas Electric Industry. Two versions were made, letās call them Type 1 Ko and Type 1 Otsu. So, the Otsu modification differed from the Ko modification only by the presence of a rear support.
Type 1 Ko:
Type 1 Otsu:
There are also photos of some modifications:
The weapon was loaded with rigid belts similar to those used by the Type 92. That is, its capacity is only 30 rounds. Letās also take into account that the Japanese were not very fond of machine guns with a high rate of fire.
In general, it should be a machine gun similar to the Hotchkiss M1922 machine gun.
I will also note that I have not seen any evidence of the possibility of attaching a bayonet to the Type 1.

Thatās the only one with 3d model and you are correct when you link 3x30 rounds its 90 same way in game we have MG 42 with 100 rounds running around whatās the difference really? they can be linked you can link them you can see on the image every 30 can be linked none of the general purpose machine guns in game are operated how they are operated in reality the MG 42 has like 15 bullets in it less then 30
How this
Is different then this:
What?
You canāt connect rigid belts, unlike loose metal belts like the MG 42. And fabric belts were actually made long, while rigid belts were made a maximum of 30 rounds long, and there were even shorter ones, and there were reasons for that.
From what I see you can connect the standard ones at 30 and there is some 50 but from what I have seen you can connect every 30 I was looking exactly for someone that can explain me why you cant connect them ? Even on the picture that you posted there is a pin for connection or its not ?
