Some thread necromancy
How to deal with Machine guns and fire modes?
Here is a list for the MGs mentioned in the "Infantry Weapons of the World" of Ver.2. I've tried to figure out, what the weapons abilities are IRL:
BAR: special
The BAR has been produced in several countries and in several versions. Some of them were "full auto only", others had been made "selective".
AAT-52: ?
Bren L2A4: selective
RPK: selective
M249 SAW: full auto only
Colt M1895/1914: ?
DP: ?
DShK: full auto only
FMM 24/29: selective
HK-21: selective
KPV: ?
L86A1 LSW: selective
Lewis Mk I: full auto only
M214 6-Pac: full auto only
M2HB: selective
M60: full auto only
M134 Minigun: full auto only
Browning M1919A4: full auto only
MAG-58/GPMG: full auto only
MG-3: full auto only
MG-08: full auto only
MG-34: selective
MG-42: full auto only
PK(M) : full auto only
RPD: full auto only
Bren Mk II: selective
Browning M1917A1: full auto only
SG-43: ?
Stoner LMG: ?
Stoner M207: ?
Steyr AUG LMG: selective
From all that I've read, there is no selector, to switch from "single shot" to "full auto". You just pull the trigger. If you pull it slightly, you've got a single shot, if you pull it harder, you automatically get "full auto".
Vickers Mk I: ?
Vz-59 : full auto only
The "?" in the listing means: I don't know and had no info on the subject.
House rules (For Ver 2.2):
I let the players decide, if they want to use "Small Arms: Rifle" or "Autogun", when firing a light or medium MG.
Heavy MGs have to be fired using "Autogun".
If someone uses "Autogun" with a MG, whose RoF is "5", the character may fire single shots.
I don't allow to switch from "Single Shot" to "Burst" during an action.
Two exceptions: If a machine gunner with a MG (RoF: 5) uses "Autogun", he may fire his shots as he likes, combining "Single Shot" and "Burst" freely.
The Steyr AUG LMG may combine "Single Shot" and "Burst" as the shooter likes, because of the unique action of the weapon.
I hope, this listing will be useful for some of you. If someone has info on the weapons with uncertain info, please let me know. I'd like to complete this listing!
