You still need the same basic capabilities in MOUT as you do in the desert or green. If I'm clearing buildings or advancing through city streets, the SAW gunner from a trail team will provide cover along with the rest of the team for the assaulting or advancing team. What is needed in both types of environments is a weapon that is more maneuverable and lighter, but with the same belt-fed sustained fire capability, as in 100rds on the gun minimum. Something like the KAC LMG or the Ultimax would be much more appropriate, since they are both very compact, lightweight, and use constant recoil.
