So what I'm hearing is: "We need a belt-fed SAW because only it can provide sustained, short-bursts of accurate suppressive fire vs. a mag-fed auto rifle based on an assault rifle platform."

Which boils down to: "Multiple mag changes disrupt a gunner's concentration on targets and thus degrades his accuracy, his effectiveness."

I don't see platform stability, use of bipods, or better optics as prohibitive in an IAR, and thus is not really a differentiating factor.
