IMO, it actually gives players a sense of realism. Think about it, the characters don't have any skills with the LMGs and their not like SUPER JACKED. So yeah, in a way it kind of makes it realistic because LMGs are pretty damn heavy.

@Damac, the SMR upgraded is a decent weapon if you have a really good trigger finger. The War Machine upgraded IMO is just for shits and giggles. Their the most useless guns if not upgraded :P
