What's in the gamefiles? LMGs ?

Which would transform it into a glorified M4. I'd suspect, if they do include LMGs, that the belts of ammo will be suitably rare, or will require the player to find links to create them from loose ammo.

 

And then you could just run around chambering single rounds in your SAW. :P

Why not?

 

Because as someone else mentioned, they can just add drum magazines for the M4A1 or AKM when they implement it. An M249 SAW does not take priority over something more PvE-based rather than PvP-based. The example I can think of is correctly coding the crossbow/bow and arrow and implementing it rather than copy/pasting military weapons from ArmA II.

Well, we should still have to reload (shorter animation) when ending the first 30 magazine. Instead of that the couple magazines act as one 60 mag

Ah good point. There should be some delay.

I can only imagine how badly the devs would butcher the lmgs though.

 

LMGS are typically extremely accurate but knowing how dayz has turned they would be even less accurate than the m4.
