Hk121

[LRRPF52]

Because of the cyclic rate, it can't be fed for long. Notice how many times he had to change belts, especially as a one-man gunner with no AG, AB, AB2, AB3, AB4, AB5, Gun Team Leader, like the Wermacht employed. They had basically a gun squad with loads of MG34/42 drums hanging from them, but it still takes too long to change drums with that weapon in a maneuver role. In the defense, fed from ammo cans or prepped belts, it's great, but not in a dismount role. I have experience actually using it in that capacity, and it blows.

This HK121 is a step in the right direction for dismounts, but 7.62 NATO will still limit the amount of ammo and fight focus the gunner will be able to maintain.
