Ah, yes the dreaded too many Full Auto on the field discussion. I would agree that there are way too many SMGs, and MP44 on the field. The difficulty is getting everyone on the same page, and I do mean everyone.
If you limited the number of SMG to the appropriate persons, as per semi-historical accuracy, there would be some bitching and griping.
Some would also bitch or gripe about having to purchase a new toy, that may have a limited application.
It would not alter game play. It would merely change it, slightly. You would now have engagements that would not finish in a matter of minutes, but be protracted, and placing a large emphasis on tactics.
I am all for this, and would have no issue with needing to acquire a No4/SMLE or Garand, if necessary.
There is one last thing about this. It would require, that all attending members, be advised what weapon they must bring for the purposes of their impression. Again the gripe and bitching factor may be involved.
I do support this line of inquiry, but I am a realist, I am not sure if it will grow legs or not.
