From here there are two trains if thought to consider; firstly is your gun competitive against what's on the field, can it do its job, or are you just trying to look cool and/or have more ammo than everyone else? Second is the ammo capacity. Those magazines are banned for a reason, basically sportsmanship. So if there is a heavy gunner/support class that allows them, the big, heavy, cumbersome LMG comes with it as a balancing point. There is no clever way to make an ultra-light proper LMG, or turn your not LMG into a bullshit variant. That would all defeat the purpose of the sportsmanship rules. Essentially you'd be running a nice light gun with a massive ammo capacity, having a lot more than everyone else. Get a full sized or run standard 30/40 round magazines. Those are your two options.

Due to wind, leaves and very short engagement distances I would say in outdoor play it takes four bbs to accomplish the intended outcome on average. This is why midcaps don't bother all but the most hardcore milsims.
