[Spearhead] LMG 08 19

Spearhead is a spinoff project of Frontlines that will be used to differentiate completely fictional weaponry. Some may have some historical components, but for the most part these guns are going to be fabricated by myself or others, or redesigns from other fictional universe for Frontlines purposes.

Thank you Ebeck, very cool

This mod contains the LMG 08/19, a heavy assault rifle or LMG, depending on how you look at it. Chambered for a 7.63x32mm Barbetkuser intermediate round, and boasting an obscenely large 75 round drum magazine combined with a water cooling jacket, this rather hefty gun is capable of filling any role but the most extreme. With mid-tier muzzle velocity, mediocre damage, a high fire rate, and rather manageable recoil, it can be used to suppress, assault, defend, anything as long as you give both it and yourself enough time to react. Some people say calling this an 'assault rifle' is disingenuous due to the weight and designation as a light machine gun, and being a descendant of a heavy machine gun. Those people are cowards.

Real-Life Inspiration:
This gun is based on 2 things, one after another. There was some moderator election in Ebeck's server that I wanted to join because it was funny. I said anyone who voted for me would get a Frontlines gun made for them for free. Ebeck was the only person that voted for me. I asked what gun he wanted, he said "maybe a machine gun like a handheld Schwarlose, similiar to the MG08/15". I made a 2D sketch concept for an intermediate caliber, water cooled SMG 08/18 in an intermediate 7.63x32mm Mannlicher round, found in Mannlicher's 1901/1904 carbine (real round btw, maybe will be made for Frontlines), and Ebeck pointed out that it was basically the Fallout 4 assault rifle but not nonsensical. I took this idea of a "fallout 4 assault rifle" and ran with it, leading to the LMG 08/19 you see here today.
TLDR - SMG 08/18, MG 08/15, Fallout 4 assault rifle.
