Suggestion: Introducing Light Machine guns.
Why it would be worth adding: It would allow for more dynamic attacks performed by the resistance primarily and OTA units could deploy with a mobile version of the AR Emplacement gun that could be used to support transhuman fire-teams deployed on missions maybe restricted to specialist or Phase 2 transhumans? The RPK or DP-27 Would be a realistic given the setting weapon for the rebels to be able to find and use or produce from existing similar weapons and feed using calibers on hand such as 7.62x51r or 7.62x39mm, Light machine guns could be something that is worked towards much like how RPGs have and were worked for, They would be a rare weapon primarily used either for daring assaults where an edge is needed or for dire defenses mounted against a large enemy force of either persuasion! Rebels might find themselves alone on a hill with a DP27 perhaps fending off an encircling attack of CPs/OTA or a Transhuman team of 3 might be surrounded by Anti-citizens in a tunnel and mounting a daring last stand as they wait for airwatch to rescue them, The opportunity is there. For balancing sake it could be made very rare though visible when Lambda brings it out or a group earns one.

Still advocating for rebel RPD, Uses the same ammo as an ak but can be utilised as a support weapon and not a high capacity ak
send me an addon link and I'll throw it into the pile.

Kinda the point? I'd suggest something like the M60 or M240 (Both tenable because they use 308.) But for some reason half life 2 roleplayers have a strange phobia of NATO Equiptment and a fetish for Soviet/Eastern bloc as if you could never find an M240 post invasion.

Since we are in Switzerland I would imagine there'd be a lot more Western equipment around so yeah not everything has to be limited to cold war soviet weapons
