Talk:Light machine gun/Archive 1

Fallout 2
No confirmation obviously, but this reminds me of the Light Machine Gun from Fallout 2. Triaxx2 01:50, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Terms
Okay, seriously...What's up with all these terms? "it can chew through most critters" This is a serious wiki... Insane! 00:06, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a serious wiki when we get information. Nitty Tok. 00:08, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Wait...How come I can't edit it? :S Insane! 00:09, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because there have been too many "OMG IT'S A PKM" edits. Besides, the terms are fine; they're going to be replaced anyway. Nitty Tok. 00:11, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, okay...Good, they'll be replaced. I find them annoying. lol Insane! 00:14, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Appearance
Can an admin please add that it looks like an L86 LSW? Tezzla blah blah blah 16:52, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Uh, no, it's not like an L86 AT ALL75.11.50.214 06:42, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

It's a M60 Machine Gun. You can tell because of the design. - Texas Ranger 23:11, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't look like an M60 at all. To me it seems like some descendant of the BAR. 02:57, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

And regardless of what real-life gun it resembles, we generally don't add that info to the article page. -- Kris mailbox 19:09, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry Yuri, you're wrong. It does not have any of the design features of a BAR, except for the wood furniture. Everything else about it, from the barrel, to the receiver, to the gas system, to the front sight post, resembles an M60.--71.234.106.119 05:53, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

What the gun looks like does not matter because it is not a real gun. Alternate universe with alternate guns. Think of it as a combination of multiple LMGs. 70.179.38.132 02:50, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with 70.179.38.132. Besides why should it matter, it is a fictional gun, so it doesn't matter which real life gun it resembles, it isn't that gun. RogierWV 12:47, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

The M60 never had a 5.56 variant, although it has a little brother in 5.56 named M63. The only PKM resemblence i see is the carry handle, which is on almost all non-mounted machine guns. TJbrena 00:04, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'd say it's modeled after (though not quite the same) the M249 light machine gun, or commonly refered to as the SAW when I was in. The M249 uses 5.56mm. 184.60.20.232 02:30, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd say you're absolutely right, it is almost exactly an M249 in shape and design, except it has wooden furniture, and isn't open-bolt. 21:39, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

It's a PKM with solid stock. Unless it isn't belt fed, then its some sort of AKM. But why does it matter? Its it's own gun, maybe created by it's own company entirely in a parallel universe. We could get down to the semantics of where other gun makers got their idea and how our own real world guns look similar to each other and who copied who, their isn't really any point unless its a striking similarity or reference.
