    I'm really curious to see how this turns out. I think we all know the most/least used LMG's but I wanna see how bad it really is.
     
    I use to use the M60 (it's way Overpowered) but have since switched to the MG36 and MG3 because I don't wanna be one of "those guys". Not that there's anything wrong with it, I just like to mix it up. I voted M60 though because I'll still pull it out if the match needs it.

    M60 is only really over-powered when it's used with the mgnmm ammo.
     
    I have not upgraded my Medic much yet but the SAW is pretty nice.

    I use the T-88 because I like its iron sights. I don't mean to brag, but I'm a pretty fucking incredible shot, so I make damn good use of those 200 bullet clips. And then I use the perk slots for giving my health packs more utility.
     
    Haven't explored anything further down the line yet because their iron sights don't appeal to me as much.

    XM8, for sure. After learning how overpowered the M60 truly is (it is going to get rebalanced, though), I weened myself off of it and fell in love with the XM8. Not looking back.

    I just unlocked the M60 and I'm going to use it for a while and when I feel guilty enough... I'll switch to another gun.

    M60 with a 4x scope and the LMG accuracy spec. I don't really like using magnum ammo with the gun.

    M60 all the way. It's cheap, but until I unlock the MG3 it's what I'm gonna use. Btw, MG3 is the only unlock I have left. Getting the M16 was a bitch though, I don't like playing Assault.

    I usually use a Shotgun (generally Saiga or USAS-12) or a G3 with the Medic, but on the off chance that I use an LMG, I use the M60.

    It isn't, it's just overused and a lot of people tend to call it over-powered, although I tend to disagree since I never have problems against medics when using shotguns/assult-rifles/a G3.

    Since I got the platinum star for the M60, I'm going with either the XM8 LMG or SAW. Both awesome guns. 
     
    btw. the M60 will get a slight nerf with the next patch, according to the game's lead-designer's twitter, along with the M1911. AA vehicles will get a buff.

    The M60 is most definitly the most powerful gun in the game. Had all the guns in my hands for at least 100 kills. Hands down the most powerful gun in the game. Its damage per bullet is about on the level with the SVU semi-auto sniper rifle.

    I use the M249. I have unlocked the Type 88, though I just find a high fire rate more beneficial. I don't aim to kill as a Medic. More to suppress so I can administer some revives. So the MG3 could be the LMG for me.

    Experimented quite a bit with the MG3. Very demanding gun. Eats bullets up like nothing. I did best with extra ammo and improved handling. My least favorite LMG actually. 
     
    Some, who have mastered the gun say it's amazing though. Not my cup of tea anyways.

    The G3 is on par with it in terms of per-bullet damage, and there are many guns that are on-par in terms of time-to-kill, and a couple that are actually faster. As for shotguns, if you are able to learn to handle them correctly with slugs, and a fairly decent at aiming without a scope, they are ridiculously powerful.

    XM8 with iron sights is my favorite. I've taken down more blackhawks with it in Hardcore than with sniper rifles and rockets combined.

    Yeah, except it handles better than a SVU a long ranges and it's incredibly deadly in CQB. All the while having 100 bullets in one magazine. Most weapons are deadly, true. But none outshines the others like the M60. I believe a slight nerf of it is well in order. 
     
    Now if the M60 was silenced, had no muzzle flash and shot no tracer bullets. That'd be insane! It already kills in 2-5 shots, depending on where you hit and if the enemy wears body armor. Despite having a low rate of fire, it's still higher than shotguns with slugs or the SVU.

    Type 88 because I love the iron sites and little recoil. The last gun I unlocked was the MG36, I used it for a game but I don't get the scope, it's just a fat circle! Maybe I just can't see the dot or something.

    @VanillaBear505:  are you playing on a SD TV? that's pretty funny if you don't see the dot and it's just a scope lol. 
     
    @nietzsche7:  hey, if the gun handles well to you, stick with it. I stuck with the M249 pretty much the whole time til I unlocked the M60. Definitely check out how the other guns handle though, there's some good variety in them.

    The XM8 LMG is the way to go. I use lightweight and ceramic armor for extra durability and speed. The reload speed is faster and the fire rate is just right for the greatest number of kills before needing to reload. Time is casualties!

    No shit it's the fuckin M60. That thing has nearly a third more kills than any other gun.
     

      That's almost TWO MILLION more kills than the next weapon, the knife (a weapon which EVERY KIT has, mind you... not just Medics).
     
    Doesn't take much to tell it's over powered.

    @MrKlorox:  no one is arguing the effectiveness of the M60, anyone that's played the game for more than 10 minutes could figure that out. I'm just wondering what everyone prefers and to see how many people actually use it.
