This was more of an issue 3yrs ago when the last post was made lol

Airsoft compromise; assault rifles semi only, LSWs allowed full auto but still can't use highcaps, and belt fed MGs allowed box mags?
Shrike still has a quick change barrel, so it's close to being a legit LMG (was it the shrike or stoner 63 that got the military contract then failed to provide any guns?)
Fact of the matter is, new technology, new materials, new propellants; today's MGs just aint your grandpa's M1919 browning MG.
They're getting lighter, but the role is also changing to shoot less bullets and be more accurate.

LMGs in general don't seem to be very common anymore. I gave mine up for something much lighter that's just as effective.
