- Weapon description

MG3 is a general-purpose machine gun featured in CrossFire.

Description[]

Compared to other machine guns, the MG3 excels in power and accuracy but suffers from high recoil, slow firing rate, and heavyweight. MG3 has high recoil, but it's easier to control than the M60. It has medium drawing/reloading time, faster than M249 Minimi and M60 but slower than M249 Minimi SPW and M240B.

Advantages[]

  • High damage dealing.
  • High accuracy.
  • Standard machine gun magazine capacity.
  • Fast reloading speed.
  • Fast drawing speed.

Disadvantages[]

  • Moderate-slow rate of fire.
  • Heavyweight. (slightly lighter than other MGs)
  • High recoil.
  • Loses accuracy when sprayed at long range.

Availability[]

Available in all CrossFire versions.

Tips and Tactics[]

  • Camping
    Due to the heavyweight which will slow down movement speed and reducing accuracy while shooting, camping will be the best tactic suitable for MG3 users.

Trivia[]

  • In real life, this gun has a capacity to fire up more 1,000 rounds per minute means that boasts with very high rate of fire. But in-game the rate of fire is mediocre presumably because it's a portable weapon rather than fixed position. Also by tweaking the bolt, the buffer and booster, you can change the fire rate.
  • Even though there is a bipod for use, the character holds the barrel shroud instead. However, repeated firing would cause the barrel shroud to be dangerously hot to hold in real life.
