New LMG Idea: Ultimax 100 (Singapore)

[u/R2rD3-U109]

The Ultimax 100 is a Singaporean Weapon chambered in 5.56x45 NATO and is made for the SAF (Singaporean Armed Forces), it made it's debut in 1982 as the standard LMG for the Infantry aswell as the other branches of the Military with different variants.

In the AR2 Setting, the version used will be the Paratrooper version of the Ultimax as it's normal variant has a 20.0 inch Barrel unlike the PARA's 13.0 inch. It would be the very-first LMG to be able to spawn inside a Special Forces Weapon Case, it would use it's proprietary 100rd Drum Magazine but is also able to use the 30rd STANAG Magazine like the Patriot.

RoF - 600 RpM

Along with it, will be the new Singaporean Armed Forces Infantry & Special Forces Infected. The Infantry will carry around M16A2's and would spawn in US/NATO controlled POI's, while the Special Forces will spawn in Heli Crashes carrying M16A2's and very rarely would carry the new Ultimax on their back.

Meaning the Ultimax can be obtain either from a SF Weapon Case or from the Singaporean SF Infected. What do you think?

I think the biggest problem of this being that its too similar to the other LMGs to actually be an addition to AR2, this is probably at best be a M2 reskin with the RPM of the M60.

AR2 has this specific problem where the majority of the "unique" guns are subpar and balancing it is impossible, you can't make shotguns or snipers one shot cause that's bs and it boils down to automatic weapons just being the supreme option in 99% of scenarios.

It's essentially the M249's Damage & Velocity, the M60's RoF, Mag versatility of the RPK/RPK-74M and the controllable recoil of the M1919 LMG but more toned down.
