Evike.com's Matt got as a special guest Spencer, an experienced Milsim player, to discuss about the role of the airsoft machine gunner, covering key aspects of using light (LMGs) and medium machine guns (MMGs) in Milsim events.

They define LMGs and MMGs by their real-steel cartridge equivalents and discuss how machine gunners are utilized in both casual games and structured Milsim, emphasizing the importance of physical mobility despite the added weight. The conversation also delves into reliability and maintenance, stressing the need for spare parts and basic technical understanding due to the increased stress on these guns from full-auto fire.

Furthermore, they compare rule sets from various Milsim events regarding joule limits, full-auto capabilities, and ammunition, highlighting the advantage of higher ammo capacity for machine gunners. They also touched briefly on BB weight optimization and the pros and cons of HPA conversions for enhanced performance.
