LMG Tier
The LMG tier weapons were designed for two main reasons. Suppressive fire and the ability to put more bullets down range than your opponents at faster speed, no matter what the accuracy will turn out. Most of these guns are something labeled as a “bullet hose”. (Excuse me for my use of slang) It’s not necessarily accurate, but it’ll feel the enemy real fast. DO NOT, and I will say it again, DO NOT expect great accuracy when firing these guns. Expect high powered bullets, recoil and a very fast rate of fire. The key to victory with an LMG is to fire in short, controlled bursts. They will hit once the user is accustomed to the idea to
M249 Saw
The M249 Saw, by general consensus has the better sights out of the LMG’s available. With that said, it’s also less powerful and not as fast as the other two choices for the LMG. It may take quite a few hits with an M249 to bring a person down. While the difference is only a couple shots, they could also mean life and death for the wielder.
Suggestions from Mr.Waulrus: I would suggest fitting a grip in order to improve accuracy due to the great iron sights on the gun. I would also suggest the use of stopping power over double tap because double tap leads to inaccurate fire, while stopping power, if used right works great. Steady Aim would also be a good idea to use.
RPD
The RPD is the weapon of choice by many people who use LMG’s. It’s the most seen LMG online. It may not be the best by popular vote, by it’s certainly popular. The RPD has high power, decent accuracy for it’s type of gun and it’s a very fast firing gun. If you are new to the LMG tier and have unlocked this gun, it would be a great gun to start off with.
Suggestions from Mr.Waulrus: I would suggest the use of the Red Dot Scope, double tap and steady aim/deep penetration. That combination has the potential, due to the guns base stats to be very good, if used right and the user fires in short burst, like an LMG is supposed to be fired.
M60E4
The M60E4 is a very, very powerful gun. It lacks a good iron sights, but it has great accuracy and power and is considered, by many the greatest LMG available in Call Of Duty 4. If perfected, the user becomes a bullet spitting machine that will never run out of ammo.
Suggestions from Mr.Waulrus: I suggest a scope replacement, double tap/stopping power perk and the steady aim/deep penetration perk.
