Extracted from the manual...

*M249 (FN Minimi)
The best machinegun with great firepower. Can be very helpful for backing-up your team.

Statistics:
Bullet start speed = 22.5
Bullet start power = 27
Bullets/Sec. = 7
Reloading = 4.16 sec.
Ammuniton = 50

And when we compare it to another gun...

*Steyr AUG
This weapon looks like a toy but it sure isn't. With great speed it spits out bullets killing everything in a fast attack.

Statistics:
Bullet start speed = 21.66
Bullet start power = 20.8
Bullets/Sec. = 9
Reloading = 1.91 sec.
Ammuniton = 30

AK-74
Modified version of Automat-Kalasznikov from 1947. Weapon of terrorists and most of world's army forces. The best rifle in the past 50 years.

Statistics:
Bullet start speed = 20
Bullet start power = 29.28
Bullets/Sec. = 6
Reloading = 2.5 sec.
Ammuniton = 40

seems perfectly balanced to me.

Maybe the little header "The best machinegun" has something to do with it? I'd say theres nothing wrong with it. AUG fires faster, AK does more damage per bullet, and the Minimi reloads slower then both of them.

Don't mess with my Minimi.

The minimi is fine, go away

Leave mah PK...er...Minimi alone! >:D

Yes, FN MINIMI IS fine!

When you run out of rounds you either flee and reload, or take out your sock and dive in to get a kill. But that reload time is a son of a bitch. That's why it's not really my first choise for trying to get the flag since when the clip is empty, you're basicly defenceless from the chasing cumbums. But as a defensive gun it's unbeatable.

Do not touch my autos or I will use them all against you.

Wake up, that part is the description of the gun in real life, like for many of the other guns. And please don't compare soldat to real life now, because there's no point.
What did you want to say with this anyway?

in that time you can be shot...

My werd.

Autos are balanced. Just get rid of minigun ;o.

Michal's saying it's the best machine gun because it's the only machine gun in the soldat. Ak and Steyr are rifles, and mp5 is a submachine gun.

Weapon balance is perfect.

weapon balance is perfect except the part that machineguns are overpowered, m79 and barret underpowered and deagles too strong.

I dunno ...minimi is definitely a very effective weapon compared to other autos.

ah well, i see where this is going. Who was saying that the weapon editor that was said to be coming out sometime in the future would be useless? /me sighs
