I’m not sure about others, but it has come to the point where I have too much .50 BMG, and that gave me an idea for a DLC that would give us alternate uses for calibres we don’t normally use in certain roles, with mostly historic weapons.
The first idea, is an M2 Browning HMG (Tksp for the Swedish armed forces.) When holding it from the hip, it should slow you down as much or even more than the minigun, and completely immobilise the player when aiming, acting like it was on a tripod. For the fire rate, it should have the slowest rate of fire for any machine gun, with very little recoil. Damage is slightly less damage than the Pvg 90. Unlike almost any other machine gun instead of accepting red dot sights, accept rifle scopes. (It has been used as a sniper rifle quite often in real life) Spread when fired from the hip is horrendous, with sighted accuracy comparable to hip shot accuracy of a shotgun with a 5c choke firing slugs.
For shotguns, we could have an automatic shotgun with a detachable magzine, (Such as the AA-12,) or a sidearm in the form of a sawn off double barrel shotgun with a quick reload and the ability to fire both barrels at once/immediately after the other. (Or, if we want one used by the Swedish military, we have the Beretta Silver Pigeon, called by the name Hagelgevär 686)
For 9mm pistol/smg rounds, an artillery luger carbine to be used for longer range engagements, while being classed as a rifle. (SMG rounds are in case we are getting the 32 round snail magazine) Scope attachments, should involve 1-4 or 4-8 rifle scopes, as well as a red dot sight, with barrel attachments accepting rifle attachments.
For .44 caliber, a carbine or rifle would allow even longer range engagements, and possibly a higher capacity magazine compared to pistols. The Remington Model 788 manufactured 1967 to 1983, a 3 round magazine as standard, was a bolt action rifle that had a .44 variant, which could allow for recycling animations from hunting rifles. A lever action rifle, such as the Winchester Model 1894, could also be used, with internal 9, 8, or 7 round tube magazines. Alternatively, for a high capacity long range rifle, the Henry repeating rifle was a 16 shot lever action rifle. (Or the 28 to 34 round Evans repeating rifle for an even higher capacity rifle, with a nonstandard .44 cartridge)
I don’t know much about the programming that would be involved with giving us a mortar to easily hit the top of the machines, or even behind them, but we could easily get a lore accurate reason for having a 1940’s designed mortar, with the 120mm 120 Krh/40 (For the Sweden armed forces, it is the Grk m/41D.) Alternatively, if we want to use something also used in Sweden with a caliber similar to the Granatgevär, we should use something like the Grk m/84, an 81mm mortar, made in the 1970s.
