That’s fine, I guess, even if it’s just a recolor.
Well yes, johnson lmg is historical used as paratrooper weapon
It is the FG42’s lost brothers, low weight, 20rnd mag, close bolt in semiauto

I’d more than happily take a Paramarine squad with the Johnson LMG, even if the 1944 isn’t the right variant for it. But sadly it’s another not all that good BR4 LMG

It would be fine if there werent any people who did research and put a weapon idea in the suggestions.
I am not saying they should over work their employes but if dont know what big project they are doing i will think they are doing almost nothing.
I wouldnt mind if instead of this event weapon ,we would get a new TT weapon.
But correct me if it realy takes a lot of time to make new weapons.

do they need another 20rnd LMG more?

I’m wondering one thing why is the Johnson machine gun at BR IV? It only has a 20-round magazine—it’s the worst machine gun at that BR.
Basically, the M1944 Johnson has (vs the TT Johnson LMG):
Heavier weight
Better accuracy
Less spread while moving
Lower recoil
Faster transition to aiming
Unique appearance
It is a later version that is “further refined” compared to the TT version (as the text says), so it has a number of upgrades. Most of these aren’t visible on the in-game stat cards of course.

I really need that Johnson machine gun for BR3—its current BR makes no sense. Has anyone seen a 20-round machine gun at BR4 in the research tree or an event?
This is much better than the stats we see in game.
Next time please include hidden stats of the weapon in the post it makes the weapon not to look like a reskin

it is in br4 because it has a high fire rate
Well, let’s look at the MG-42 (50-round version) MG-34, KE-7 (50-round), and TKB-264-42—they are far better, and that’s not even the whole list there are plenty more I could name.

They should just be included in the in game statcard tbh. There’s no reason to hide that when inspecting a weapon’s stats

I can do nothing about it, ask the developers.
From these only the MG-42 matches the fire rate.
Well, since I am not a fan of the TT BR4 Johnson, I probably wouldn’t be a fan of this one either. Cool gun, but I’ll pass. 
I cannot even afford a BR 1 Ouija Board, but may he rest in peace! 
Peak Gaijin logic.

So what is the difference between this machine gun and the tech‑tree version?
American vehicles at BR‑4 stand no chance against Tiger tanks and BR‑5 opponents.
Have to say I like the Johnson rifle and LMG will be nice to pair with the browning 1919a4. pity it’s not a whole heap different but I’ll take it. Do we get 2 from completing tasks 8 and 10 or only one for both?
Hello Major, it would be great to have event weapon orders! Players could choose between the new weapon announced for the event or other weapons from any nation already in the game! Everyone would be happy!
