Should the LMG have laser sight in Battlefield 4?

The only exception if a fight face-to-face, when the enemy is, literally, at hand. Unlike with most weapons in Battlefield 4, equipping the LMG with laser sight rarely makes sense because increasing the accuracy of the hip shot by the several percent makes not that much difference.

Is the rpk-12 the best LMG?

RPK-12 has pretty much no recoil and a fast reload for LMGs, but the low rate of fire is going to scare many people off. i don’t think there is really one in the belt fed LMG as m60, m240, m249, mg4 and LSAT are all real good but for the mag fed LMG, the AWS is probably the best.

Is the M60 a good weapon?

M60 is a beast at med to long range and it looks bad-ass. Well, none of the weapons really suck, but since high rof is “OP” in the game, there’s no good reason to use low rof weapons, if you’re try-harding. For some not-try-harding, m60 is good if you’ll just keep your distance from the enemies. I personally like LSAT.

Are LMGs inferior to other weapons?

Regardless of the accessories attached to the gun, most LMGs are inferior, when it comes to accuracy, and often the rate of fire, especially to carbines, assault rifles and PDWs. This is not to say, however that the LMG user is without any chances against gunmen using one of the above, at close quarters.
