i just realized this thing doesn’t have selective fire /selector 
in what universe is this a semi auto gun then?!

in the same one where the Americans do not have some kind of modification of the BAR in semi-automatic rifles
yeah only the BAR 1918a1 does
all the others have slow fire ones
hold on, i just realized:
the gorov is one kilo lighter than the 1918a1
but the latter is considered an lmg?
ah yes. consistency at it’s finest

No, I mean that the Americans did not receive the bar as the antipode of the fg 42 2 in the class of semi-automatic rifles

ah, in that regard.
well, they got the m2, which arguably does the same job but slighlty better in the cqc part.
it slighlty growned on me after my marathon grind of the usa.
Weird. I always believed it has no movement penalization just like Johnson LMG.

Johnson also does, it’s -25% like BAR’s
The only LMG that doesn’t have a speed penalty is the fedorov MG

so… how does the process of categorizating a weapons works?
if you know by any chance, of course.

The thing is; every weapon in existance is designed for specific role or multipurpose.
Not like some omnipotent gun specialists and engineers have been deciding what weapon is in what category before they were created since the beginning of the time.
People invent weapons and those weapons are classified but others according to their features later on.
This is why you can find many overlapping examples. This is not absolute fact like a verse in a holy book
Bren gun was the standart lmg of british but commandos and paras somethimes used them like assault weapons without bipod.
Fg 42 is considered automatic rifle but its mechanism works more like lmg.
Feodorov operates very similar to modern assault rifles but it is considered an auto rifle etc …

Wtf? I have been lied to. 
weird enough, I haven’t noticed it even tho I played both guns quite extensively…
But I guess it’s possible I just got it wrong. This is what sleep deprivation does to a person, it totally destroys their brain.
Thanks for clarification. I should’ve checked your sheet twice before starting to spread such nonsenses.
sure, but in the game that’s completely irrelevant.
still… irrelevant inside enlisted
yet in enlisted is an MG and remains an mg
except… it’s a battle rifle.
not an lmg.
I don’t know, although imo the johnson lmg shouldve definitely been categorized as a semi auto

yeah…
it’s a bit of a mess
This could be solved by introducing a lightweight 1944-45 version with an excellent front folding grip

Weight should determine movement speed penalties.
Weight combined with ergonomics should determine MG effective accuracy.
A MG42 is extremely front heavy and technically speaking multiplies the felt weight.
The US 30. cal has a buttstock which is designed to be shot prone - which makes it completely unusable while on the move.
→ these things should be the real factors for MG balance, which of course should mean that we need working bipods.
