support gunner loadout (i need help)

I'm with juni0r on this one, I can't see any situation where your teammates would be unable to carry enough ammunition themselves, especially in milsim where you tend to use less ammo rather than more!

While I can see where you're going with this one and I can see the kind of team-work thing you're trying to build I just don't see the point? In the military we have an acronym that we apply to almost everything: K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid. If you add unneccesary complication into anything it'll go to shit, but we also say that no plan survives contact with the enemy, so it's entirely up to you really!

 
looks like my rig will be my normal rig with a box mag and loads of mid caps and possibly a standalone grenade launcher

 
Why not Build a Grenadier Loadout instead?

Also I don't believe your actually able to get a Barrel long enough to be able to build an MG36

 
If this is for maim you won't be permitted to carry box and mids! It's either or as you can't carry extra ammo for team mates.

 
no 2 backup mids for my gun and i may go with the grenadier idea

..so what is the requirements for those milsims? only m249? only 'belt feed' ?

mg36, rpk, l86, h-bar all excluded?

there are quite a few.

But in airsoft, an mg36 is just an assault rifle with a boxmag, therefore not allowed. In airsoft its no different to fitting a box mag to an m4.

The others that you mentioned are heavier modified versions, they're less practical and therefore receive a higher allowed round count, but again not all milsims allow them.

Some milims make a distinction between lsw's and lmg's too, but not that I've seen in the UK.

I don't really see the appeal of an mg36 anyway tbh, if I wanted a support weapon I'd much rather a proper belt fed, but that's just personal preference.

Are there actual belt fed BB MGs out there? Or you referring to those with fake links like the M249 Para?

 
yes those are what I'm talking about. They're are much bigger, heavier and more impractical. Which is why they are allowed as LMG's.

m249's, m60's etc.

 
MG36 is a G36, with a Beta magazines and a heavy barrel, to help with the elongated fire.

Was scrapped though due to it being very midway between a G36 and the current LMG at the time.

I have used my G36 in support roles that have kit and movement restrictions, such as no support gunner is allowed to shoot unless braced or bipod down.

As mine is a proper G36, and as heavy barrels don't exist in airsoft it pretty much is a MG36. I wouldn't count it as one though unless you have the right carry handle sight and front end. Just sticking a drum mag on a G36C/K and calling it a MG36 is a bit like sticking a box mag on a 416 and calling it a M27 IAR.

Other support roles are just jealous of the weight difference!!!

Will be ordering one of these next month. Wouldn't mind ordering another for you to purchase off me to lower shipping / customs charges. Might order more anyway since last time i sold one on eBay for 100% profit :P

So again.. what defines whats allowed? if the real weapon is belt feed? the weight? or just a list of allowed ones?

I really dislike belt feed airsofts, because the best is static while shooting.

 
As previously said, it depends on the rules. MG36's are sometimes disallowed because they're so close to an assault rifle.

 
Its banned because some people don't like the fact H&K developed a rifle good enough to trial it as a LSW, and it being super light weight compared to its competitors, thus having a large advantage in maneuverability. :rolleyes:

And the G36 isn't exactly mobile anyway because its so long.

 
I doubt its down to people simply not liking the fact that h&k managed to make a good gun, pro ably more so down to trying to balance the game.
