Like plenty of people here are teling you, the LMGs can be effective when used properly. You just want to use them the same way you use SMGs or AR which isn't gonna happen. Unless there is some glitch that allows two bullet kills at wvery range then LMGs will inherently be less used. If you used them on the right maps qnd in the right situations you will be okay.
Look at the M60 in Black Ops. With grip or big ammo you could destroy people but the lower mobility, slow draw time, slow reload made it less attractive. Although, the majority of its users just held down the trigger til the ammo is gone or theu get rushed and beasted lol.
The thing is, lets be honest why actual use an LMG think the P90 has 50 a clip, so one relode and = LMG ammo, and you have 100% mobility and quick aiming?
2 bullet kill shouldbe standard look at the ACR that does 45 damage 4/5 LMG's do 40 (L86 3

but on COD4 if you put stopping power on they were 2 shot kils LMG need the 2 shot kills and good accuracy.
Iron sights on the LMG's suck, maybe you can use the PKP or MK46 but lets be honest they are a sin, there that bad.
There should be a accurate LMG (without a glitch) which is as accurate as the ACR or MG4 (MW2 LMG) that is accurate stood up or moving, theres no LMG like that, i just that they make this the PKP, and maybe reduce fire rate? If its a bit OP
But i know you can do good statergies with them, but i loke to look at it as, would i do just as good or better with something else, and then would i get added bonuses with guns aswell??
Look at not as yes they can be used.
Look at it as is there somthing better than this and does that get extra bonuses aswell?
I know its a bit pestamistic but i would love LMG the OP guns for once, look at BO they were rediculesly UP
