Yes you can do it IRL. You can do many things that will ruin this game if modelled IRLRedStorm said:How does this idea have anything to do with foring two MG42s at once? No, you couldn't do that in real life. You could sling your own weapon on your back and quickly return fire in a combat situation with a weapon that's lying around, though, like the original picture shows.
lol, great idea ! Just imagine you and your clanmates eating sanwiches after battle...Rak said:
Witzig said:Well in the Bundeswehr the MG3 Gunner (basically an improved MG42 firing NATO Ammo) has to carry an Assault Rifle in additon to the MG, and i guess this proves that its not that far off.
The Assault Rifle is for the Case that the MG is no longer Combat Read (Lack of ammunition or an Overheated Barrel), it's certainly not probable to fire the Assault Rifle while one is carrying the MG. But it is a secondary Armament. I guess this would it tough to code in, since the Assault Rifle would only be usable when the MG is no longer held/carried by the Soldier.
Avron said:This is the only one part of the truth. Yes, in Bundewehr the MG gunner carry also a personal weapon. But, like you said, it is a false conclusion to allow to use both weapons in RO. In real life the MG is and was a team weapon. This means there wasn't only one soldier carrying the gun, the ammo, the replacement barell and other tools. RO makes a trade off and allow you carry all the things ALONE. But allowing to carry more weapons makes you even more unrealistic.

i guess the idea is : 'where do you keep your 2de gun while handeling the grenade'.TheBeagle said:It wouldn't be a bad idea. AA has it but then you can't use grenades for some reason if you have a 2nd gun.
i douth that would happen much. the weapon he has in his hand has to be his temporary weapon. so he'll know what he spawned with.Deathsai said:I think it would not make the game too fun. I don't want to be in a duel with a rifleman, only after having fired 5 shots have him realize that he has an SMG on his back, then rush me while blazing away. Even if I'm the only one he kills with it, because he has no more ammo, it'd still be pretty lame.
wait, what about the screenie on the site of the guy with the sniper rifle on his back? i always thought he was aiming a gun...but i guess im wrong http://www.redorchestragame.com/images/full/playershoot3.jpg
