Honestly it's because of these belts that the weapon keeps working in third world environments. Taliban sprays a belt, picks up the linkage, runs away, reloads, now you have another belt. Disintegrating belts are only useful if you have more of them. Linkage belts like the PKM uses are great if you don't have factories backing your army.
I'd venture to say the RPD because of its wide spread use and impact against the US military, the UN forces in various conflicts, Africa all of asia and south america. Its found extensive use everywhere there has been a conflict as where NO other beltfed has found as much use.
>Nogunz has an opinion on a weapon he has never used.
The M60E3 is a vast improvement over the regular M60. And any M60 is less awkward to carry and employ than an M240. The M240 is awesome, but it is way harder to employ on the move.
The best Cold-War MMGs would be the M1919A4s and SGM Goryunev - an MMG is a rifle-calibre tripod-mounted gun not designed for bipod use or carrying.
The best GPMGs were (and still are) the PKM, the MAG58/M240 and then a long way behind is the MG3. >And, yes, I've carried and fired them all (except the SGM) and other lesser GPMGs and SAW/LMGs.
PKM
PKM is perfect besides its stupid meme belts.

the ones that are still standard post-cold war: MAG and PKM
mg3 is literally trash-tier. oh so you can go brrrt really really fast? that is it? fn mag and pkm are the respective goats
the PKM, M240/MAG, and MG3 are perfect
everything else is acceptable at best
/thread
PKM is ridiculously good for what it is.
>that ammo pouch
What kinda homebrew solution is this?
>PKM
>MG3
>M249
>FN MAG
bro really tried to sneak in the M249
FN MAG. No contest.
stoner lmg
i spit on all other medium mgs
M60. Don't care what anybody says.

the
RPD
>RPD
bro, he said MEDIUM machine gun.
The RPD is a LIGHT machine gun
>Dismounted GPMG - M60E3
>Mounted / Coaxial - M240 / MAG58
>G3 - it's good all around
Cold War fag here. AMA.
>picks M60 for anything
Opinion discarded
Have you ever humped a GPMG?
>You need to carry something to disapprove the PKM and M240 aren't the kings.
Springfield Armory .gov bullshit. Same reason the FAL wasn't adopted
The brits were truly ahead when they choose the FAL and the MAG

Meant to say MG3.
>G3
enjoy having your rollers fucked up by sand
>Israeli
>FAL
>Sand Cuts
G3 mogs the Cold War battle rifles
Yes the improved models of FAL were able to have sand-cuts (or mud-cuts in a jungle) to make them even better.
The G3 and its rollers couldn't.
What was the point of the M60? Just to be replaced by the FN MAG later?
