Not all Browning MG enjoyers are campers. I honestly just pick whichever gun I think is cool and roll with it that’s why I play a lot of support and pick up the elite weapons so often.
This is what 1v1 Sentry battle on full health looks like with no help from teammates. The Villar Perosa beats out the MG 08/15 based on rate of fire and pure TTK as long as the user is skilled enough to land shots. The MG 08/15 makes up for this with range and sheer volume of fire, it could beat the Villar Perosa at an extreme distance or during a reload. Even though the enemy caught me by surprise I had a decent recovery and landed most shots and easily won the gunfight with 50% health.
Everyone uses extended belt specialization but I really like the light bolt because it rips more realistically and the TTK feels insane.
I just unlocked everyone’s favorite WW2 weapon (including mine) the MG 42.
Clutching another Prise de Tahure with the elite kit. Goated shock ops map.
Bro is washed forgot how to use a controller he got ran off the game on shock ops and then proceeded to call Far From 100 for backup and still choke the easiest FDV defense of his life. Leo Dog Vinchi sits on his humiliation chair with meat in his hands. Killing Julezzz is so free and easy, mf probably should just go back to REDSEC where he belongs.

I was on a dirty 55 killstreak with Villar Perosa but then I had to sacrifice my KD for the greater good of humanity to clear out the impossible Monte bunker.
The Type 100 is the only domestically produced submachine gun fielded by the Japanese during WW2. The Japanese didn’t have much history with the submachine gun. After coming up against submachine guns in their invasion of China, the Japanese had a better understanding and newfound appreciation for this type of weapon. The Japanese began importing SMGs including the SIG Bergmann, MP 34, and MAB 38/43.
The Japanese had been trying to develop their own domestic submachine gun in 8x22mm. In 1937 the task was given to Kijiro Nambu, the most prominent gun designer in Japan’s history. Nambu has been referred to by some historians as the “Japanese John Browning”.
Nambu had been trying to develop a submachine gun type weapon since the 30s. Nambu’s first attempt in 1934, the Model 1 was a blowback operated machine pistol with a curved 50 round magazine inserted into the pistol grip. This was refined into the Model 2, which retained the same operating system but a more conventional magazine feeding system.
Nambu would develop his Model 3 in 1938, this was his most successful submachine gun design. The Model 3 was different than the Model 1 & Model 2, taking more inspiration from the European Bergmann style submachine guns. The Model 3 feeds from a 30 round side mounted magazine. The upgraded Model 3B would be formally adopted as the Type 100. Only about 10,000 Type 100s would be produced throughout WW2.
The Type 92 Light Machine Gun is an unlicensed copy of the Lewis Gun. One interesting thing is that the Japanese didn’t just reverse engineer the Lewis, but they also developed an identical copy of the .303 British Mark VII cartridge specifically for the Type 92. This Japanese 7.7x56mmR Type 87 cartridge is not to be confused with 7.7x58mm Arisaka. The Japanese Lewis Guns can be identified by their uniquely shaped trigger guard.
This Lewis Gun prototype was completed by Soley Arms Co. in 1939 despite the fact that the Lewis was already phased out of frontline service by the Bren Gun. The Soley Lewis prototype feeds .303 British from the 30 round magazine of the Bren. The UK had a massive stockpile of Lewis Guns so a variety of new improvements and modifications were still being tested for the Lewis into the 1940s.
The British were thrilled with the Bren Gun, but knew that there might be a point where they would be forced to fall back on the Lewis Gun. This would ultimately become reality when they were forced to abandon a bunch of their equipment during the Dunkirk evacuation. After losing a lot of their guns, the British were desperate for more weapons. In response to the losses at Dunkirk, tens of thousands of old Lewis Guns were taken out of warehouse storage and put back into service.
Shout out to Royal Armouries in the UK!

I want to enjoy this game but shit like this really makes it really hard to. These plane sweats in BFV are morbidly obese.
Throughout WW1, the British Army issued the Lewis Gun as their primary light machine gun. It was quite effective in a defensive role and it could be carried and manned by one soldier. In the aftermath of the war, it became clear that the UK would have to find a replacement for the Lewis Gun despite its effectiveness due to its sheer weight and complexity.
In 1922 the UK ran trials to find a replacement for the Lewis Gun. The domestically designed Beardmore-Farquhar LMG, BAR M1918, Madsen MG, Hotchkiss M1909, were all tested against the Lewis Gun. The BAR M1918 was recommended for adoption, but this didn’t end up happening due to financial restraints. Because there were so many Lewis Guns already available in service, the UK was in no rush for a replacement.
In 1930, a second round of trials were held. These trials would include new contenders such as the SIG KE7, the Czech ZB-27, and the domestic Vickers-Berthier. The British would gravitate towards the ZB, BAR, and VB in particular. Throughout the 1930s the British would continue to test light machine guns.
The Colt Model 1925 BAR and the newly designed ZB-30 would both be rechambered in .303 British and go head to head. The British preferred the ZB-30 in testing, designated as the ZGB-30. The ZGB-30 was adopted in 1935 as the Bren Gun. The Vickers-Berthier was also adopted by the British Indian Army.
I just saw someone bring up the AA Rocket. Behold this is what the pinnacle of skilled gameplay looks like.
I just unlocked the FG 42 one of my favorite all time classic WW2 weapons (probably everyone’s favorite). This gun is an absolute death laser BFV did it justice.
One of my favorite weapons in world at war. I’m still a low level but I feel like I’m getting better. Now I unlocked the MP 40 and FG 42 so I want to try those classics too.
The M15 Rifle is pretty much an M14 upgraded to automatic rifle configuration with the addition of a heavy barrel and bipod. It was officially adopted to replace the BAR M1918A2, but this didn’t end up happening because the M15 was declared obsolete before it ever went to production. As a result only three M15 Rifles were produced and all are marked with the prototype designation T44E5.
The BAR would ultimately be replaced in most light machine gun roles by the M60 GPMG and in most automatic rifle roles by the M14E2 or by standard M14 Rifles equipped with bipods. The M1918A2 would continue to serve a limited role in Vietnam, being carried by some units who favored the portable firepower of the .30-06 cartridge in the dense jungle.
Knicks were criticized for signing Brunson.
KAT was criticized for being soft.
Knicks were criticized trading for Bridges.
Mike Brown was fired from the Kings.
They criticized Leon Rose for firing Thibs.
Someone said Brunson could never lead a team to a ring as a “1a”.
Some people were questioning if they could even make it to the second round after going down 2-1 to ATL.
They said the WCF was the “real NBA Finals”.
They didn’t think the Knicks could keep coming back from double digits.
They were all wrong!
The M1918A1 is an interwar BAR variant that was created by converting existing M1918s to be better equipped for the LMG role. It was fitted with a bipod mounted to a centerpiece between the barrel and handguard, along with several other modifications to improve performance as a machine gun.
The M1918A1 was adopted in 1937, but not many were made before it was replaced by the ubiquitous M1918A2 in 1940. As a result most M1918s and A1s were converted to A2 configuration before the outbreak of WWII. This makes the M1918A1 a relatively rare and obscure BAR variant despite the fact that it was officially adopted by the U.S.
