Karagin,

Why the MG, ammo and CASE versus versus a Flamer or SPL? The switch drops a bit of flavor, but you drop the boom boom factor. If you drop the ERSL you can mount a Flamer and a SPL, or some other combo, just my two cents.

The general design hits me as a upgraded/modern P-Hawk, which is not a bad thing.

Wanted the MG for AP work and felt a flamer was a bit over kill in this case. SPL might work.

I guess I have become set against MGs. If it is a "modern" design and the only ammo is from a MG I automatically drop the MG for a SPL on safety grounds.

I follow what you are getting at, but some times the sound of the an machine gun going off and the bullets hitting all around someone sends them deeper into cover and less in your hair. Or so it seemed in Iraq...

No arguement there.....but if we are going for intimidation there is always the Zippo.
