Description: When Noah looked at the manifest for Hekler'Kok he noticed something, the absence of a dedicated light machine gun. There is then R-1 which could be fitted with a drum mag or you could heft a GPMG-1 into combat. There was a problem with both of those scenarios though, the R-1 fitted with a drum mag was good for close quarters but the 5.56mm cartridge it used wasn't popular with heavy weapons experts and on the flip side the GPMG-1 was much better at firing at long range and had a harder hitting 9.3mm cartridge but it wasn't very popular with riflemen. So upon this note, Noah decided to make a light machine gun that mixed the best of both worlds, making it light-weight with high end light weight polymers and titanium, but giving it a hard hitting 7.62x39mm cartridge, making it light-weight yet still hard hitting.

Weaknesses:
  • Though it states its light-weight that is in comparison to other machines gun and it is still quite heavy
  • Unless you are a muscled person, you should never shoot this weapon standing or without bracing it against something
  • Though the recoil dampening system does drastically reduce the recoil it still has a good amount of kick

Strengths:
  • Unlike the R-1, which uses a 5.56mm cartridge, the LMG-1 uses a 7.62x39mm a much more hard hitting weapon
  • This weapons high rate of fire makes is a extraordinary weapon when it comes to putting suppression fire down on a enemy position
  • This weapon has multiple different points where extra hardpoints where optics and foregrips and other weapon attachments can be added to increase its performance
 
Aww, is this for tearing my arms off? On a more serious note, I'd like to as for a reduction of RPM(Rounds per Minute) to a range between 500 and 900 RPM, as most lighter assault rifles and machine guns are not in the 1100-1600 bracket of RPM.
