generally, the fact a gun has a carry handle, bipod or other accessories, does not make it a LMG. The real G3-SG1 is not considered an LMG. The HK 21, though based on the G3 platform, is considered a LMG.

The major fuction that defines an LMG from a regular rifle is the ability to maintain sustained fire. This is usually noted by heavy barrels with quick change ability and large heatsinks or other methods of heat transfer.

IMO, in order for a gun to fall under LMG rules, it must replicate an existing real steel LMG, thus the g3sg1 is not an LMG.

PS: the g3 uses v3 gearbox. its fine for long full auto use. the only v1 gearbox is the FAMAS, which is a workhorse and great on full auto. Ive owned both the g3sg1 and the FAMAS, and i prefer the latter.
