LMG seems > everything else?

Yeah wolf of course... Ammo wise your method is a whole more effective. But time wise it's not. Thats what I want to say.. Sorry if my bad english caused a bit of confusion there. ;>

Time Wise? Lol you know with my pistol as soon as a elite warrior opens its mouth its dead, or very close to being dead, this is in the middle of a major arkfall with alot of other players running around, so it has a very high HP, my wolfhound has a 12 round clip, thats without a +40% clip mod.. and i empty the whole thing in the time it opens and closes its mouth, much faster fire rate then a LMG, I don't think even a sawn off can get close to that kind of DPS, sawn off = 2k per shot, 4k total, but it doesnt have 500% increase crit dmg, just sayin.

Dude I found a wolfhound with a +4 clip. It's glorious.

You can't use perfect stats/mods into the calculation... Every gun dominates a non perfect one on this matter.
A perfect orange lmg will also own your weapon. You only can consider the base weapon at all. If it's a way off other weapons on it's base stats than the weapon will it be also on orange with perfect stats.

Edit. And I think yours is like nearlly perfect, - stat wise.

Dude I found a wolfhound with a +4 clip. It's glorious.

God damn, I want a wolfhound with +4 lol.. mine has 1.15% crit as base... so its kinda... 15% multiplies into it more so crits are bigger, .. but with a mag.. wow..

What inspired you to become a pistoler? lol

Edit: Gimpsor, my gun is only a blue, and were are comparing weapon types not quality here, weapon quality doesn't really come into it. We are talking equal quality guns here, but if you want to get an orange LMG and try and out dps a green wolfhound, go nuts

That was with the machinist LMG, I think 2 skill in it and no mods. Had a BMG as a side arm since I didn't have a nearby ammo crate until the final part(had to solo one of the small ones). Honestly the LMG is just an awesome weapon as long as you don't go full auto, once you do that the bloom becomes an issue but if you just fire in short bursts it's incredible.

The pistol is really nice IF you can hit a crit, if you can't it's a trash weapon.

my smg

SMG VoT techmag pulser
132 dmg per shot (around 240 crit per shot)
25 firerate(most lmg have 9-11 fire rate)
67 mag
12% crit multiplier hip fire
15% dmg bonus behind target
almost no recoil and very accurate from the hip (rank 7 smg)

and i also use a shotgun

VoT grind fragger - orange
fully automatic with fir rate of 8
22 mag cap ( +9 from bonus +1.30% mag mod)
does 1346 dmg for all 8 shots (166x8)
plus same bonus from perks as my smg.
+cloak 30% dmg bonus for my first shot.
i can clear out a group of elite 99ers with this gun alone just by using all 22 rounds + a grenade.

weapon damage alone does not make it an overpowerd weapon. its how you use it and when you use it.

i use an ambush / highly mobile playstyle due to using hip fire weapons and lets me duck and weave in combat (pve) while still shooting the target in crit spots / head shots.

you cant do this with an lmg you have to aim non stop to do any accurate or sustained damage. as a result you forsake mobility / ambush for high sustained damage (as intended with LMG) and cause supressive fire for the group. that is why LMG are used to defend military positions. you can just keep shooting for a very long time before reloads. which makes LMG a more supportave / defensive role in that you can hold out an area.

some 1 also mentioned a pistol. yes its great if u can head shot. but its low mag and very low effective range meens its only good for upclose and personal moments, but is still good to have as a backup when your other weapon runs out. also good for the ambush playstyle.

personally i dont care about the dmg of SAW LMG as it does not fit my playstyle. id rather come second with my SMG and my ambush / high mobility playstyle then come first with a stand there move slowly and shoot a slow fireing weapon.

now as for ammo in dungeons thats never an issue esp on boss fights

small arcfalls never an issue either

major arcfalls can be an issue but things seem to drop alot more ammo now and i did a major arcfall the other day and only ran out of ammo for my smg 1 or 2 times while shotgun spamming inbetween.

I prefer SMG's personally, fast fire rate, quick reload, and good hip fire while strafing etc. Mine has fire damage also which is great with it.
