Combat Arms/Machine guns

There are not many avid machine gun users in Combat Arms, but these beasts still have their upsides. Machine guns are basically assault rifles that are modified for spraying. They sacrifice portability and accuracy for huge amounts of ammo, making it so that you can spray for a long time and not have to reload.

Machine guns can only be fitted with magazine mods. When you do have to reload a machine gun, it takes a very long time.

US M60


Common Name: M60

The M60 is the least accurate and least portable weapon existing in Combat Arms. It is so unportable that if somebody tosses a grenade nearby, you are quite dead. However, it has very high power, capable of a three-shot kill, and even if your enemy gets away, they will be left mortally damaged. The fire rate is fair for a machine gun, but the recoil should be handled carefully. This gun can be deadly effective in close quarters, but is virtually useless at range.

FN MINIMI


Common Name: MINIMI

This machine gun has very low recoil and is quite accurate over longer distances. You'll be able to take down targets from close to medium range going full auto and even long is possible as well if you burst/single shot although this probably isn't a good idea as any other gun in the game excluding shotguns in the hands of a competent player can out-snipe a MG user. If used correctly though, you'll easily be able to mow down countless players due to this guns good balance of damage and fire rate. Ducking is essential though as with all machine guns and running-and-gunning isn't a good idea unless your in close quarters due to the large spread. This gun is also fairly portable making heavy vesting an option which works well with any avid MG user. Basically, this MG is probably the most versatile out of all the other MG's and is a very good weapon for any close to medium distance engagement.

FN MK48


Common Name: MK48

This machine gun boasts the highest damage out of all the primary weapons, excluding sniper rifles and the M14. It also has the same amount of accuracy as the MINIMI. Due to this balance of stats, this machine gun is also the most effective at longer range – when bursting or controlling the recoil effectively, a MK48 gunner can be quite hard to defeat. Going close quarters with a crouched MK48 is not a good plan – consider grenading the gunner or taking him out from outside of his effective range.

Daewoo K3


Common Name: K3

The K3 is the fastest-firing and most portable machine gun, behaving almost the same as an assault rifle but sacrificing accuracy for lots of ammo. The K3 is the weakest machine gun, but it is still a four-shot kill. It doesn't have as much recoil as the two three-hit kill machine guns, but more than the MINIMI.

Daewoo K3 SPW (Black Market)


Common Name: K3 SPW

The only difference between this supply case upgrade of the K3 and the K3 itself is that the K3 SPW is much more portable. You can actually go around and spray this machine gun without being slowed down by it to the pace of a snail. Also, it has an amazing 400 ammo in total. However, besides the portability and ammo, there is no difference at all.
