Title: NVA/VC machine guns
Post by: alanl on 25 January 2011, 01:54:20 PM
The machine guns which are available in the Pendraken range are: 12.7mm DshKM; LMG, Vz 30; MMG 7.7mm Type 92.

I presume the 12.7mm DshKM would be classed as heavy machine gun, perhaps as a company or battalion asset.

Would the MMG 7.7mm Type 92 be a weapon used in the Platoon Weapon Squad?

Would the LMG, Vz 30 be carried as part of the ordinary rifle squad, along with the like of RPG2s or should it go in the Platoon Weapon Squad?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. So, where in the TOE would the MMG fit?

As a guess - not knowing NVA/VC organisation it's probably going to be in the Weapons Platoon or at Btn - in the support company.
