They'll never replace the M2. It's list of problems is few and solving those problems are easy but the M2 which was manufactured in 1933 still performs the role that it is needed for.

it should be replaced by a belt fed m82
The M2 I used in Afghanistan was made for use in WW 2.
>The M2 I used in Afghanistan was made for use in WW 2.
How many notches did it have?
>What the fuck did you just say about this M2, I'll have you know this M2 has over 2,000 confirmed kills..
We'll be using these in Andromeda.
It is too bad that Browning was a M*rmon otherwise he'd be an American hero with all of his contributions to weapon design
Why don't they make an M3?
>M3
Shhhh don't talk about the supa secret tech where ithas some parts made of titanium to make it a bit lighter/wear resist and added an integrated optic mount.
We'll probably be slinging 50 cal pills at multidimensional beings.

>"As long as they're ripped to shreds in our three dimensions, I don't give a fuck about whatever others they die in"
aliens come here with armor prepared for laser weapons just to get shredded with .50
>The Asgard would never invent a weapon that propels small weights of iron and carbon alloys by igniting a powder of potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur. We cannot think like you.
>the asgard were always hyper advanced and never developed technology
I always hated that plot point.
>implying that projectile weapons have to be chemically propelled
The Asgard could have made plasma propelled projectile weapons, magnetic,(gauss) electomotive, (railgun) or some bullshit gravity driver.
>xcom sg1 crossover
The only completed example is XSGCOM which makes SG1 look completely incompetent while completely ignoring XCOM's soldiers who make Somali milita look like Delta Force.
>while completely ignoring XCOM's soldiers who make Somali milita look like Delta Force
I really, really want to know where XCOM found an entire platoon of guys who can't hit a fucking stationary target at 10 meters.
probably recruiting on PrepHole
And PrepHole
I kinda like the idea that an aliens conception of logic can be so different that they find the way other peoples do things to be absurd
Fuck me I love Stargate
>Why don't they make an M3?
They did, and it had the same rate of fire as an MG42
the M3 was an M2 designed for aircraft use.
it is real and does exist.
they did.
It’s the gau 21 now and they put them on helicopters and in gun pods
These things will be used on mars
>t. retired marsCorp C-130 door gunner
I sure like to see more short recoil operated weapon.
please for the love of god we have hyper advanced ballistics make a new fucking cartridge
>lighter
>requires only a 2 man crew to set up
>can be reconfigured into a grenade launcher in under 3 minutes
>more accurate
The only reason why this didn't replace the m2 is because of top brass boomers
no, its because it looks like shit
Why not both? Mount it as a front passenger machinegun but keep old reliable up top.
Not worth replacing the m2 for it.
were in the middle of a recruitment crisis, the weapons need to look and sound cool, and be fun to operate. Not this faggy piece of shit, redesign the look of it to have sharp edges and boxy.
