This one def took a little bit longer than it should have. Decided to spend more time focusing on the presentation of each gun. Let me know know what y'all think about the new style.

For me the MG42 firing .308 rounds isn't really an issue for me, because after WW2 when German army just simply used a modified version of the MG42 called the MG3 (which by the time of this comment it's still in German service) and it fires the .308 round.

I'm still hoping to see an M240 / FN MAG sometime. It's one weapon that seems to be totally absent from the Fallout 4 modding scene.

"No raiders were harmed in the making of this video" Always keeping the comedy, love your videos, BrandyBoy

As someone who prefers single shot, precision rifles, I can feel the power of these machine guns leaking through my screen, and I have to admit, seeing these machine guns, and the quality of the audio and designs brings a bigger smile to my face than any sniper can! Additionally: I really liked the way you presented the guns for the video, as well as the ranking system. I'm ok with waiting longer than usual for each video when they are made with such great quality! Keep it up!

*PS4 players crying in the distance*

Since we now have weapons like the p90 in the Combined Arms expansion mod that shows the rounds in the magazine disappear in real time, I hope we can see a machine gun where you can see the last of the belt go into the gun as it empties.

I think the 12Ga is ment to be a nod to the belt fed shotgun in Metro.

Just wanted to say great job with the presentation of this video! It really makes you stand out amongst the other Fallout Mod Reviewers, I think playing small highlights of moments you have with the mods during those small bridging segments would something nice to keep in the future!

You read my mind, LMG is exactly what I'm looking for. I have modded every category of weapons in the game and created a lot of redundancy thanks to your videos. LMG was kind of lacking with only 2 choices. I really like these videos plus the bottle caps rating helps me decide which ones I want to try out. Keep up the great work!

I had the MG42 mod, and allowed it to be distributed to enemies through the level lists. Imagine my surprise when I was getting destroyed by every gunner boss. I wasnt even safe in power armor. I had to remove it from enemy distribution it was so damn OP

Good to see the channel back and running

Loved the video! I hope you make more videos in this kind of style! Just one small mistake at 16:51. As of 2022, the M249 has been replaced by the Sig Sauer SIG-LMG, designated by the US Military as the XM250! Great video as always!

great to see you cover some Machine Gun mods that are out there

I love the new video format, would love to see more in the future

My favorite LMG mod is Fallout London's Bren LMG. It doesn't have a lot of customization options but there's a separate mod that adds more options and even a suppressor! Animations are fantastic and it hits hard. Love the Bren.

Great #1 choice! Being a previous saw gunner I can say with confidence that you can definitely lay the hate down. You are well versed in this particular light machine gun, most wannabe's are unfamiliar with the gas system of the gun and how to adjust the rate of fire. Hats off to ya! Keep up the great work!

When it comes to weapons, for myself, the audio is number one and number two is recoil realism. Well for now anyway. Also I love pulling off head shots so accuracy and clear sights are high on the list. But nothing compares to a desperate spray and pray situation when you are getting swarmed by ferals and a super loud machine gun bucking around as you try to keep it from recoiling up into the air, for heart stopping fun. I will be trying some of these out for sure. Top notch review.

Ooh I loved the use of Black Ops 1's soundtrack for the M60, shoots you right back to that master class of a game

I miss these mod videos, they always made my day. Hopefully with the surge in interest for the Fallout games that it'll inspire you to make them again.

cool format! its good that you returned the channel!

Beautiful video man! I don't see why the algorithm is against it, keep up the wonderful work!

I’ve used The M60 Before and I Love it The MG42 had the Best Sound of all Time I love how you played the cod Cold War theme when featuring the RPD and The MW2 Theme for the PKM 16:32 EXTRACTION POINT

literally 2:30 am and brandyboy uploads 😤😤 you already know I'm clicking on this why u gotta ruin my sleep brandy

Great work, my man. More videos like this.

Weapons specific comment, the mg42. I was in the first oh I don't know, couple weeks of playthrough when I had this mod installed. I come across one with the never-ending perk. I'd also managed to score up a little over 4,000 rounds. And then I had the blessing slash horrific mistake of downloading death by kitties zombie mod. It was around the point of the map between diamond City and Boston where eleonora's shop is if you have that mod. Apparently it was one of the trigger points for the zombies, when all was said and done I had 16 rounds left, a distinct need to poop and was in dire need of a hug.

It’s too bad the m60 doesn’t jam every 50 rounds like it’s real life counterpart. That would be hella immersive

amazing video i love these recomendations i love number 3 the most it looks so good

Amazing top 5. I'm going to try some of them! 😉

Great video! I would put the RPD, the MW M91 and the M249 at the top 3 though.

There are two types of weapons in Fallout that will never be topped in terms of sheer unfiltered fun. Unarmed weapons and Full Automatics.

The ability for the m349 to take ar mags is often forgot by devs so to be able to not only take the 30rd but the quad stack and the double drum nutsack is beutiful

Fantastic video.

love the black ops soundtrack great video

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG FOR THIS VIDEO

Actually the 249 has a major issue: the reload sound effect when used by an NPC is crazy loud, like it sounds like its being reloaded right in your ear regardless of how far they are from you. The other issue with that mod is Combined Arms has major crash issues when NPC's use them.

The phrase "Fully automatic beltfed shotgun" arouses me.

I absolutely adore the M60, I find it such a cool gun, from movies like Full Metal Jacket to Rambo, if it could talk it'd have stories to tell!

yeah the common theme of downsides for machineguns is the belt feeding mechanism not being animated for empty reloads. understandably that is a limit of the game engine and not needing to differentiate between a full mag and an empty one I think there's mods that fix that but I can't be asked to go through the effort to install any of those and their patches for my guns in game, so I just reload before the belt is empty and ignore that minor pain of detail.

The M91 is a really good LMG mod. Idk if you've covered it before. Worth looking at if you havent

Can confirm, you always sweep the feed tray on a saw because the last link doesn't eject.

I haven’t fired the M249 variant, but I have fired the Canadian C9 variant and we all hated it as a plastic pos that won’t just jam, but straight break apart and the magazine port rarely every functioned properly on any of the ones I fired. So I can’t download this mod without thinking about that. Now the C6 was a fine piece of machinery, just heavy piece of metal stamped together to make a raw power medium machine gun. I loved that gun. I’d take that mod any day

Great vid

Awww yeeeaaahh, my favorite category of weapons!!

1:15 oh man when that black ops music hit

I like that you used a call of duty world at war soundtrack for the mg42.

He alive!

The MW2-3 music is such a niche but cool addition

Gonna have to try a few of these. Want to do a heavy weapons guy in fallout but the vanilla heavy weapons are mostly disappointing.

The Negev LMG is also belt fed and can use magazines as well like the M249 (more reliable at that as well).

You brought up the M249's ability to use box magazines which, historically, it was designed to do. However, it is not the only 'SAW' that was designed with that concept in mind. The IMI Negev is also capable of doing so and, while not mentioned on this list, the RPK is designed to take both 40 round box magazines as well as use standard AK/AKM 30 round magazines.

Even if my Fallout barely can't take news mods without crashing, i do love thoses mods reviews. The PKM and M249 are my go to against Big mutants ennemies in my "Fallout Métro, Tarkov expérience" ?

Awesome video as always! Also I love how these mods always rip animations from cod mw2019 because they are just so good

The MG-34/42 is my top number One favorite among the MG's. I love the design, sound, reload effect. Semi-automatic pinpoint aiming, there's nothing to complain about

I wouldn't mind watching you run another game live with these mods.

epic, didn't know I waited for it :) thanks man! remember to endorse people!

i think you should do pistol mods next if you are continuing this! great video!

Love the vid, but what outfit mod are you using for the RPD girl?

Very Cool :D

The MG-42 is actually a General Purpose Machine Gun (or GPMG) and it actually sort of was the first of its kind. It was used as offensive infantry machine gun, defensive mounted, vehicle mounted and anti aircraft machine gun and was (together with the MG-34) the only official machine gun used by the Wehrmacht. Of course there were foreign and captured guns used too like the ZB. 26.

I think the sound for the rpd works just fine I kinda like it

IMI Negev can also be mag fed as well as belt fed. Negev is also more reliable in doing so than M249 because of adjustable gas block.

Howdy, noticed your post about lack of user reaction and decided to put my constructive criticism here instead to give it a better shot of actually being seen. I really liked the first few minutes of the mod review here. The cinematic presentation definitely does a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to these sort of things. I think my advice for you would be to find a 'style' to present these things with that will give you an edge here. There are a lot of Fallout 4 mod channels, most of them reviewing the same material. One reviewer has begun making their own mods, which gives them an edge. I remember another a long while ago giving roleplay ideas that went with the guns and armors. I remember another particularly nerdy one that made entire little stories to explain the presence of the modded weapons. Things like that are what I think this needs. Your presentation is extremely professional and very well edited, I think it just needs an edge. Hope this was helpful! Edit: Upon reflection, you put so much polish into the basic presentation that it's almost a style all on it's own. I think it just needs something to put it up over the edge, and all go to these if I've seen the weapon already or not. Very well done!

War Daddys MG42 was on my mod list for so long

Ok so is nobody gonna talk about how Brandyboy got his settlement invaded by raiders?

Once you start modding machine guns, they get real ugly real fast. Smooth, dark, cold steel and shiny redwood furniture is where it's at. Good showcase over all though. I love the M60.

Nice video

Yo brandyboy thanks for the heads up i like the m91 but think i will try out the m249 next thanks again much love to all.

20:50 the Israeli Negev lmg is belt fed and can take rifle mags too :)

I also want to say that technically the mg42 was used after ww2 in the german military up until recently, and is still used by a lot of minor European like Italy in the form of the mg3, a modification of the mg42 to use 7.62x51 mm nato cartridges.

"Machine gun ASMR." .... I've just had the most brilliant idea...

The M60 needs a option to be stockless and with vertical grip and the MG42 should have a chainsaw grip and trigger in a homage to the Aliens smartgun.

That was EPIC. I personally would've taken the EPK or M249 because I tend to tote lighter weapon kits. If anything I prefer my semiautomatics because I just pick my shots abit better. And I use Start Me Up with trigger discipline on lol.

Finally the immersion returns

the inconsistency kf the firing sound is actually realistic. As the internal pressure in the gas mechanism fluctuates, the fire rate can fluctuate also.

The bottle cap / Doug score is fucking killing me dude! 🤣

My personal favorite machine gun is the light machine gun from fallout:NV. I add the extended mags and just spray and pray. I know I will enjoy this!

20:45 The IWI Negev can use (Galil) Mags too

the mk41 gyrojet is also a great mod, tho more wacky compared to more grounded weapons like these

Perfect video for me

please can you make your top 5 videos of all weapon type? (or even better ammo type) , currently struggling to find the eprfect sniper rifle( the barret when aiming has a visual effect bug). thanks

love you brandy

1:18 is pure gold

TY TY TY TY TY TY TY TY I PLAY ON XBOX ALL DAY AND ALWATS PLAY FALLOUT AND WAS LOOKING FOR MACHINE GUNS NEW SUB

20:48 Late comment, But the German HK21 had a removable magazine adapter! It was removed later on due to the HK11 and HK13 eliminating the requirement.

I love the touch of COD WAW music to the MG42... My respect 🙏 (And CW music for the RPD 😭)

What machine gun was the one in the intro where it had the front grip going up and around the barrel. So you can just fire from the waist better? Either way looked fantastic.

"Number 4 the mg42" * erika starts playing*

my god that mg42 is smooth

Hey YT you better not hide this video with some BS reason. Its good content.

The IWI Negev also has the ability to use AR mags i think

pulled from every call of duty gun selection screen ever and pasted into fallout 4, how riveting

Sweet mods.

Hearing the M60 steady firing is like hearing the best song you've ever heard. It's that good... Because of personal preference... Not just mine... But yours.

The reason for the MG 42's textures being low res is because I'm *pretty* sure that specific model and its textures are ported from Payday 2.

What im learning from this is that fallout tactics has a shit ton of machine guns

surprising to not find the M91 mod on this list

Hey, Just a quick note for the author of the PKM if they are watching The support hand is placed incorrectly, it is literally the first thing that they teach you not to do while holding the gun in patrol. This way your left hand is going to get deep fried. For patrol, or in this case lowered stance for sprinting/dialogues the operator holds the left leg of the bipod. For aiming and firing You always hold the bottom side of the box magazine. Also there is a distinct and satisfying sound when You pull the links out of the mag. I do not know if You have any experience with the gun, if You do then You know what I'm preaching about. The mechanics animations are spot on, the handlings need some rework. Thanks

6:16 when you watch the video frame-by-frame you can actually see the belt move lol

OMG Tue "piece maker" made me laugh too hard
