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.
