Degtyaryov DP-27
The Degtyaryov DP-27 is the Russian Machine Gunner's main weapon. It cannot be aimed while not using a bipod, instead the screen zooms in a bit as the character moves the weapon closer to them. Unlike the 250 rounds of the German and US machine guns, the DP only has its 47 round pan magazine, making it less effective at covering fire.
M1918A2 BAR
The M1918A2 BAR is not used by the US Machine Gunner, instead it is used by the Assault and Automatic Riflemen in a similar role to the StG 44. It still has a bipod but no carrying handle, which is period correct. The selectable fire-rate mechanic is also implemented for this weapon, allowing players to switch between "slow" and "fast" fire modes.

MG42
The MG42 is the German Machine Gunner's weapon of choice. It uses a 250 round belt stored inside a 50 round drum, which is clearly not possible. When aiming without using the bipod, the player character folds the right bipod leg over to the left and holds both together as a grip, as the cooling jacket is too hot to hold. This is an actual tactic taught to MG42 gunners in the war, if they needed to fire from a standing position.
