Also, the MP5 would fit in the G3 family of weapons the MEC uses, and they use 7.62 and 9mm, another caliber would be too much (heavy weapons excepted)

Yeah. It looks like MEC is a big time H&K customer. They probably would build them under license. It'd be unlikely for them to source weapons from other arms manufactures if H&K makes (or designs) them.

Perhaps something like a UMP would be appropriate. A UMP is a lot cheaper than an MP5 and can be chambered in 9mm.

Can 9mm compare with 5.56mm NATO in terms of PR damage? Would it be a worthy CQB weapon against the USMC/US Army/British?

Sure, though do we have a model for that? MP5 is already in game and already used by MEC (crewman) so it was the first thing i thought.

No and yes. The damage is a joke, except from headshots, but the relative high rate of fire plus very good control allows you to fire lots of bullets on a mansized target in cqb even in auto. Also, as SMG the deviation could be reduced to make it more handy in CQB.

(and now seriously, the Counter Strike Hacks ad starts to become really annoying, or do only I get that crap?)

because they already use russian AK amunition in their tanks and vehicles and becaouse aks are more common and cheap than g3s and because they fit better for CQB?

the MEC supostly are a bunch of nations together , that means that they have a lot of diferent theathers to defend/attack and that they will most likely use diferent weapons that fits better in those battlefields , I.E. g3 for long range desert battles and for urban combat aks(or another AR , if you are afraid of making MEC "evil terroritz" by given them aks)

Wrong. The MEC use two types of Russian machine guns on their vehicles. The first type is the Kord heavy machine gun which is chambered in 12.7x108mm. The second type is the PKT machine gun which is chambered in 7.62x54mmR. Both of which fire ammunition not fired by AK's.

Still have to push the button longer then the Us rifleman has to push it only once, with burst and you might already be gone

but the UMP might be a good idea..

Just replace the G3A3 with H&K416. All problems will go away

Besides AK 101 doesnt use russian caliber

My main point was not to make it too powerful. If they have an ironsight AR AND a scoped battle rifle, they would be just better than USMC, Army and Brits.

Well, the UMP wouldnt be more powerful when they use 9mm with it. And when the MP5/UMP is faster to get ready to shoot than the Rifles, i dont see a real problem in CQB. The 5.56 would take longer to become accurate, while you can start shooting accurate much faster with a 9mm. And, by the way, the chance to get a headshot is much higher with its low recoil and high ROF. Also, this small recoil makes the gun just easier to control. Sure, it wouldnt be "better" than a 5.56, but it would give you a fair chance in cqb, compared to the G3. What i'd want is the contrast between battle rifle and sub machine gun. Giving them a carbine or rifle in 5.56 would be overpowered, and, as said, yet another caliber to use. Be it russian or not, its a new one. 9mm is already in use, just like the MP5 for their crewmen. And if we had a UMP model in 9mm, the crewman would get those too and there would be two main weapons again, G3 and UMP. Or G3 and MP5. Wouldnt really make a difference, the UMP is a bit lighter and less expensive, thats the only real difference. (As long as both use 9mm.)

I don't think a specialized CQB kit would fit in with MEC doctrine. Why would they be fielding SMGs enmass when they hail from mountainous and desert regions? Liberal use of frag grenades should allow MEC to function in CQB.
