  1. Except M249 is basically RPD, but several decades later and RPK is M27 IAR, but several decades earlier... yeah, you've really suffered when Browning died, didn't you?

  2.  @depthcharge126  RPK uses intermediate ammo. Same as RPD. If you want to compare BAR designed in 1917 with it's rifle ammo, be my guest. Here, Fedorov Avtomat, 1913. A point made moot by good old Madsen from 19th century. Oh wait, you probably don't even recall which ammo all of those use;) And which BAR do you mean? Good original one from WWI? Or the crappy M1918A2? Which had taken feed back from troops and instead of making two guns as was obviously required, they made one shitty? Troops wanted either a lighter gun with lower RPM and pistol grip for more control OR same RPM, but with heavier barrel, bipod and and bigger magazine. In other words automatic rifle OR LMG depending on how they've used their BARs. Result? Single gun with lower RPM, bigger weight, bipod, same small magazine and no change to stock. Make two separate guns, rechamber them for Swift cartridge and I might even agree with you. Until then, have a nice day.

  3. Oh, and my old comment from my memory. "RPK sounds like M27 IAR, but several decades earlier. Just like M249 is basically RPD, but several decades later. Absense of Browning hurt you a lot, didn't it?;)" Thanks for deleting it, YT.
