Like the Lewis, it’s amazing at constant, indirect punishment-just don’t bother trying to hipfire its unaimed accuracy is one of the worst in the game. Otherwise, the MG15 is slow-it predictably has the longest reload animation and even has the slowest deploy time (the motion of bringing your gun into ready position when you equip it) of any MG. It’s ace at suppressive fire with its deep ammo reserves and high bullet velocity, and it’ll send your enemies ducking after they realize just how much metal is flying their way. Packing a beastly 100 rounds per drum, this is a juggernaut of an MG that shares the highest possible max damage of Support guns with the Madsen. Its Optical and Telescopic versions adds further magnification in addition to the default vertical grip, with the latter tossing in a bipod for long-distance harassment, good for maps with open sections the enemy will be forced to cross to get to you. Variants: The Storm is the M1909’s first variant, and it’s a great all-around choice for punching holes or sweeping supportive fire. It chugs at 450 RPM-the slowest MG of them all-but most of your shots will land where you send them, so this is a great weapon for point defense or safeguarding an objective during a capture. The M1909 works surprisingly well while mobile, but you’ll likely chomp through the strip while you’re on the move, and you’ll find greater success pausing and taking a knee to stabilize. It’s wonderfully accurate too, boasting the lowest overall recoil and first-shot multiplier of any MG. The unmistakable profile of the M1909’s 30-round strip magazine is one of the iconic standouts of BF1’s time period.
