This is an Italian Perino 1908 machine gun

Yes he is holding the gun, the ammo is on the ground it’s not a light machine gun in that you can shoulder fire it and move forward, backward or side to side. That said it’s a fun gun that could be added to br4’ and br5 without breaking the game. The 120 round model would let you reload without having to fully reload, 20 rounds at a time would be a neat trick. The other is more standard with a 200 round box giving Germany a long lasting mg at 200. Both tech trees because otherwise at bp, event or premium they would have to be even stronger like letting them not have the prone requirement.

The Perino is a medium machine gun that began development in 1901 when Giuseppe Perino (an Italian Army officer) patented the design for a recoil-operated machine gun with a novel twist. The Perino gun fed from 20-round feed strips (like a Hotchkiss). When all 20 rounds were fired, the feed strip fell out the right side of the gun filled with all the empty cases. The idea behind this feature was to prevent spent casings from hitting troops and getting underfoot. The machine gun could mount a box on the left side of the receiver which held 6 loaded feed strips, pulling the bottom one into use when firing. This made it simple for the assistant gunner to keep the weapon topped off by simply adding loaded strips to the top of the ammo box as the gun was firing. Between this and its water jacket to keep the barrel cool, the Perino theoretically could fire more continuously than any other gun available in its day. However, when WWI broke out in 1914, the Perino lost out to the Fiat-Revelli M1914 machine gun, because Fiat was willing and able to put their gun into mass production immediately.

• Type: Medium Machine Gun

I would vote for the no prone shooting option

[Kriegerfaust007-live]

I could start another pole br5 no prone 120 option, again what do you think would be fair for stats for each gun without prone, oh please share you delusion just remove prone keep everything the same br same stats. Then again I could try a new pole less accurate hip fire instead of pron and come up with some nerfs for hip fire. Why just removing prone is a no go you reload once it have to be like 12 seconds, why low rate of fire would increase accuracy.

Option one new pole you suggest way to balance without prone
Option two I come up with a hip fire balance

I would vote YES for new machine guns, but I won’t use any prone only weapons in the game, as for me they are more of a hassle then an asset. The AT Solothurn, Browning A4 and any future prone only weapons need to have the ability to hip fire, or in my estimation they’re just a waste of time for the Dev’s to spend their time creating.

I like the Solothurn AT weapon, but it is far from ideal when your stalking a tank and need to find a spot to drop without ground level obstructions, like grass. Meanwhile, while searching for that ideal spot, the tank sees you and BAM, your dead. Same with the Browning A4. Why would I want to use it when I am limited to a prone position, when I can just carry the Browning A6 or M2 Stinger and can use them anywhere?

I would love more MG options in the game, however at the minimum they should all have the ability to shoot from the hip.
