[2019] RPD. A well balanced, low end LMG

Originally posted by mrthomska

So. As we all know, when adding a new gun the game, we go through a lot of balancing for the gun to find its price-perfomance ratio.

Light machineguns are a new addition to the game but theyre quite pricey and some use the same cartridges that go onto sniper rifles. So this takes a lot of balancing for those ammo sizes, because they cant be too overpowered for lmg's but powerful enough for semi-auto/bolt action rifles like mosin or M1A.

My suggestion

RPD Ruchnoy Pulemyot Degtyaryova Degtyaryov hand-held machine gun

Think of it as, when we needed a cheap civilian weaponry, we got vepr's and mosin. Its a cheaper but not too op lmg.

A prapor type weapon. 7.62x39 ammo using machinegun. Fire rate goes around 600-700 rounds per minute which is about the same as AKM. Has 100 round drum magazine (2x2 slots?). 7.4 kg's when empty (16.31lb). Has been used in numerous countries in numerous conflicts so its not that rare either.

DS Arms in the U.S has made modernized version of it called RPD Carbine (peacekeeper?)

I feel like this gun wouldn't need alot ammo and price balancing. And the community would appreciate a new 7.62x39 weapon

Sorry for my imperfect english.

*edit Also i know that EFT's priority number one should be its performance but we still need new stuff to the game from time to time.
