What would you choose to defend your bunker/house?
And to defend your helicopter?

or
M60
or

or FN-MAG

Umodified originals or PI varients (M60E3 etc)?
If the original with no product improvements is the go, then the MG-3 would be the order of the day, with a ****load of link and spares.
EDIT: Since the question now contains the FN-MAG, I'll change my answer to ever reliable and trusty MAG-58.

Hmm where is the FN-MAG? One of the best General Purpose Machinegun out on the market
Hmmm, to defend my bunker, house, MG-3. To defend my helicopter, PKM (as our special forces does)
MG3 all the way
MG3... especially as a helicopter's doorgun it'll be the best of the three due to high rate of fire.
Whatever weapons munitions/belts/parts are cheaply and readily available to me
Yes, it sounds good. But MG-3 wouldn't be a reliable doorgun. Actually, it has been already a "sensitive" MG. Being a doorgun means, that gun must have a good resistance against very very cold air conditions. Once, I have seen a documantry which its name was "DAM BUSTERS". (probably you know) In that documanry it was mentioned that even an M-60 can have a problem at the door of a chopper due to cold air conditions. (that chopper was a Chinook) And it doesn't have to be very cold outside. Because of turbulance of rotary-wings and the speed of helicopter may cause this problem.Originally Posted by ClydeFrog
Anyway, MG-3 is an amazing MG. But I still prefer a more reliable MG to defend my helicopter.
Mg3............
Never shot the MG3, but I dont want 1200 rounds per minute on my machine gun. You will run out of ammo faster, and heat all your spare barrels.
I will take PKM over any machine gun in the world. I've shot it many times. I've also shot M60, FN MAG, SAW ...
In my opinion PKM is the best machine gun in the world. Its the most reliable, accurate, and you can equip it with supressor or any kind of scope if you feel like it.
PKM ALL THE WAY
There is a reason they call it a FULL AUTO DRAGUNOV
IMO the MAG just pips the PKM. Disintegrating belt, less hassle. Both guns reliability is excellent.
Roman: Full auto Dragunov, a testament to the PKMs accuracy? What's the "beaten zone" like with a PKM? There's been talk of some machine guns (like the Bren LMG) being "too accurate" and not creating a decent beaten zone of fire.
It's a toss up between the M60 and the PKM for me.
On the one hand the PKM is supposedly more reliable, on the other the non-desintegrating link belts ate worthless.
if I could get a PKM modified to use desintegrating links, i'd go with that.
then there's the M60. Don't know alot about it, it's said to be tempermental, i don't know about that. but if I could, i'd have an M60E4.
Hehehehe, I didn't know that.
7.62x54 is the oldest military round still in service since 18-something. So that says something righ there
..Ide still take the MG3...
I had access to all 4 guns for about 9 months. The M240 is a great gun, but too heavy for infantry. That extra weight in ammo is prefered by most. Thats why the MK-48 is such an eagerly anticipated weapon.
The M60 works great in helos, and there are still tons of them in service.
The PKM is one of the best MGs on the planet. I would take it over the other two any day of the week. In fact, we choose to mount two of them on our vehicles in place of the M240 or M60's.
The MG3 was a nice weapon, and fast as a raped ape. But I did not get a lot of experience with it while over there in regards to maintence. We are building two post samples right now, so I will be able to give a better review of it in a few months.
Roman, since I never see you over at the AK board, what is the optic for the rail on the PKM? I have a rail added to the feed try cover on one right now with an EO Tech on it and it rocks, but I have a rail we are installing on one of our guns and would like to find the correct optic for it.
