    Eating my words...

    Well, a couple of weeks ago, there was a thread about the LMG's in this game, so I stated my opinion, that the PKM was the best choice. My reasons were mainly, the damage, and the fact that it helped to have the same gun for all armies.

    Well, somebody came up with the argument that the MG36 was better, which I refuted to no end. I had not unlocked it yet, I said, but I had used it a few times, from picking it up. And I stood by my word that it sucked complete butt.

    Then, I unlocked it tonight, upon hitting first sergeant, and I must say, I was completely blown away after about 5 minutes with it. The thing is an absolutely devastating weapon on burst....I was playing on IO, and after I started using it, I went 45-3, and I got a gold and a bronze. I must say, it is a beastly weapon.


    Anyway, my point is, I love the MG36, and I don't think I will ever use another support gun, as I like to keep a standard for all armies...the PKM can go sit on its thumb and spin for all I care.

    I wasn't impressed either when I picked up the MG36 the first few times; might have to give it another crack.

      Did you say RPK? That's the best support gun.

      I don't think I've shot one bullet out of my MG-36. ROF doesn't really matter if your opponent(s) is/are dead after 3 bullets.

      To each, his own. Enjoy your weapon.

              I hate having to compensate for the messed up Ironsights on the MG36. They're far worse than the RPK, or the PKM are, and you get very little return for all your effort.

              It's a bad gun overall.

                I hate the MG36. It's not very damaging for a support role weapon. I kick more *** with the M16 or the G36E. RPK everytime as support, or the PKM for US.

                      The PKM is probably the best weapon. Tap-tap-tap and you drop your foes like flies.

                      That being said my personal favourite is the M249. The pure amount of bullet it spews out is sheer joy. I've found that it's pretty decent in most situation, though it really shines close up. Fits my playing style, rush 'em and get personal.

                      The MG36 I tried a few times when SF was new. Then I never bothered with it again. Maybe it deserves a second chance. Maybe.

                        yea in terms of accuracy the MG36 seems unrivalled, but the RPK seems to be fairly accurate (more accurate than it should be) and additionally its mega powerful too.

                        I tend touse the rpk, but i do have both unlocks and sometimes prefer to use the mg36 for its burst fire mode if im fighting longer range battles.

                          I used the PKM to get the expert upport combat, had used the MG36 but felt a bit....well rubbish.....anyway have started going support again for the first time in ages using the RPK (which ive very rarely used before) and people were dropping like flies!! Have they changed it in the new patch?

                            Just my opinion but i hate the gun. The sights are screwed. RPK with MEC and the SAW with USMC. Though RPK FTW!

                            Haven't used the pkm since they nerfed it in 1.4.....and yes they did nerf it!

                              the rpk is currently the best no doubt about it
                              although different weapons may suit different play styles
