Unpopular opinion: Madsen Storm is the best run n’ gun LMG in the game. Better at midrange than BAR and Burton and a bigger magazine. The magazine placement has yet to get me killed. I understand why the Lewis gun is ranked #1. Very easy to control, accurate, decent size magazine with a good reload time.
My top 5: 1) *Hout Automatic* - An incredibly underrated pick for Support players, mainly due to its -4.0 FSSM (LW) and low minspread giving it laserbeam accuracy at range. Combined with its best-in-class horizontal recoil and improved hipfire by nature of having machine rifle hip spread modifiers, the Huot is almost unfairly versatile, and only suffers from its relatively high TTK. 2) *BAR 1918* - is quite possibly one of the best overall weapons in the game. -Three- *FOUR* absolutely fantastic variants which are all viable in different circumstances (perhaps even the best at their respective roles in the class) all serve to make the BAR one of the meta-defining LMGs and a common pick for many Support players. The only things letting this weapon down are its magazine capacity and the fact its Low Weight variant costs $60 to unlock. 3) *Burton LMR* - is a fantastic and unorthodox LMG tailored for mobile players. Its 5-6BTK damage model seems unimpressive at first, but at 830RPM it actually outdamages the BAR by a 60Hz frame from 0-12m, and then actually fucking stays 5BTK out to 28m, whilst having less hrec per shot than the BAR (though it has similar hrec overall, due to ROF.) In addition, incendiary rounds (6-7BTK on infantry) instantly disable plane parts since they have exactly the same properties as the dogfighter incendiary rounds, so you can fuck over planes far more competently than you’d expect with its magazine size. The Burton would genuinely be the most broken weapon in its class if it weren’t for its extremely limiting 20 round capacity and lack of a Low Weight variant. 4) *Madsen LMG* - has always lurked in the shadows of the other base-game machine rifle, the faster-killing BAR M1918, but offers a fantastically versatile Low Weight variant (the BAR’s costs $60) and a larger magazine. 5) *M1917 MG* - is basically a massive-mag M1909, sharing its fantastic projectile, but differing slightly in other aspects - the M1909 is strictly better off the bipod due to its marginally lower horizontal recoil, but the M1917 ends up being better on the bipod by virtue of its lower minspread. This is unquestionably the best ‘turret meta’ weapon by a country mile for larger game modes, since you can abuse your eternal 5BTK at range, with the best bullet velocity in its class, with the most bullets and the best variants for going prone on top of a fucking rock for the whole game. Absolutely disgusting.
In vanilla BF1 with Support as my main class, my list looked like: 1) Huot Low Weight - all rounder (b/c its more accurate then the Lewis Gun) 2) MG15na Suppressive - longer range (high bullet velocity, 200 bullets, fast reload) 3) Madson Storm - shorter range (BAR seemed too 1v1, so 31 bullets made more sense to take on multiple targets) Later on my long range became the M1917 Suppressive, and my short range went from Chauchat to Parabellum to finally settling on the Burton but my all-rounder has remained the Huot Low Weight.
My list would probably be: Madsen MG Lewis IMG Chauchat Parabellum The Madsen seems to fill that “GPMG” role very well for me. Sure it might not have the nicest sight picture and magazine capacity, but that above-average ROF and reload times make it good at CQC battle as well as long range (if you use the Low weight version with the bipod) weapon.
@@cryptotugboat7753 This was a long time ago when Games with Gold was good. I bought the game on sale and a week later it was announced to be a Gold game. Right now it is GPU though.
Yeah, but they've got to balance the gun out. Can you imagine how unstoppable you'd be if the Huot had the ammo of a Parabellum? It'd be like having John Wick mode enabled
Perino is a suppressing fire type of weapon in this game. Plant yourself in a good position and provide cover for team. Not so much of a “run n gun” lmg like others in the game.
inspired by the actual war, I dedicated all 4 of my classes to be like real countries that fought. Assault: Italian, US, German. Medic: French, Italian, German. Support: British, US, German. Scout: Russian, British, German. I change it every so often.

I really like your list, but I would just flip it upside down. I tend more to the lMG 08/18 and Burton since I generally play very aggressively in an attacking style.
Great video, JediMasterKris!! Interesting choice for first place!! I also like the Lewis gun, but my favorite Support weapon (and the one that I start most games with) is the BAR Telescopic. I actually like all the Support weapons, each one has its own strengths. All depends how aggressive/defensive you want to play.
Madsen Storm is a laser beam and kills relatively quick too. How the Parabellum wasn’t top 3 is beyond me. Lewis and Burton shouldn’t have even sniffed the list. I got 100 stars with the Parabellum, Madsen and BAR, definitely my top 3 with the Chauchat close behind.
As a relatively new player, here's what I want from a support (or any) gun: When I put my target reticle over an enemy and pull the trigger, bullets come out of the gun and hit the enemy. The Lewis gun doesn't do that.
Mine are Huot Optical, BAR trench, Chauchat low weight and MG1917 Low weight. The Burton is a close tie with the BAR, but it's harder to use the burton at long range.
I think if you want to make the Lewis even more versatile, give it the ability of the A2 BAR to switch fire rates between 480-600 RPM. Then you will have the ultimate jack of all trades
M1917 MG. Now that's the shit. Fucklotsa ammo by WW1 and 'Bf' standards, a decent accuracy especially with the bipod, a fire rate which makes it harder to waste it all, and takes way longer to overheat. As a gun nut who loves heavy guns with those traits it's a dream pretty come true with the caveat you've only 1 additional mag.

Why did the perino not make it in the list?! It is so overpowered. I really love it. Not in close combat tho. Fast reloading great aim and you kill a Someone very quickly. I use the anti air sight. My most used gun with support
My list would be: 1. Lewisgun 2. Chauchat 3. Benet mercie 4. Huot 5. Bar 6. Parabellum Why I didn’t choose the machine guns? The mg15, the lmg 08/18, m1917 and perino doesn’t require a lot of skill, in my opinion. And I chose the parabellum because it’s not very easy and I like a challenge.
Hi Kris. nice vid. Hope you are doin well. Could you please make a guide on controlling recoil in bf1 ps4?I didn't find something useful on RUclips. I'll be thankful
Maybe try tapping and bursting the trigger to keep the recoil down (works well with low weight variants), though most support guns get more accurate the longer they're fired, I'd also suggest checking out the controller settings video on my channel 👍
So many of these WWI era guns had some really neat magazines. You got the Lewis Gun with the drum mag that does a little spinarooney when you fire it to the Perino with that hopper on the left side of the weapon which I affectionately refer to as the bullet basket. Maybe it's because I'm a history buff but I've never had so much fun playing video games as I have in BF1 and BFV.
I'm going to use all of these because Kris said so

Agreed been using it since the beginning love it
MG1917 is great for covering your teammates at long ranges and supressing the enemy snipers.
Couldn't agree more. Surprised its not a bit higher on the list! All good weapons though
The scoped variant might be the best countersniping weapon in the game imo.
My top 5:
1) *Hout Automatic* - An incredibly underrated pick for Support players, mainly due to its -4.0 FSSM (LW) and low minspread giving it laserbeam accuracy at range. Combined with its best-in-class horizontal recoil and improved hipfire by nature of having machine rifle hip spread modifiers, the Huot is almost unfairly versatile, and only suffers from its relatively high TTK.

The only things letting this weapon down are its magazine capacity and the fact its Low Weight variant costs $60 to unlock.
3) *Burton LMR* - is a fantastic and unorthodox LMG tailored for mobile players. Its 5-6BTK damage model seems unimpressive at first, but at 830RPM it actually outdamages the BAR by a 60Hz frame from 0-12m, and then actually fucking stays 5BTK out to 28m, whilst having less hrec per shot than the BAR (though it has similar hrec overall, due to ROF.)

The Burton would genuinely be the most broken weapon in its class if it weren’t for its extremely limiting 20 round capacity and lack of a Low Weight variant.
4) *Madsen LMG* - has always lurked in the shadows of the other base-game machine rifle, the faster-killing BAR M1918, but offers a fantastically versatile Low Weight variant (the BAR’s costs $60) and a larger magazine.
5) *M1917 MG* - is basically a massive-mag M1909, sharing its fantastic projectile, but differing slightly in other aspects - the M1909 is strictly better off the bipod due to its marginally lower horizontal recoil, but the M1917 ends up being better on the bipod by virtue of its lower minspread.

Parabellum is overrated, it's terrible without the bipod
@@bananaskinz6693 get good

Ikr it's with the Mg14 the best LMG in this game by a big margin

@Luke Braun man there are so many fun guns to use in bf4 but honestly you should try out different weapons & see wich one feels the best for you
Great video Kris! :D
I’m weird! I like the chauchat with aa sights 🙃
I love this weapon. So easy to control and packs a good punch. I like using the semi-auto firing mode
The recoil of the lmg 08/18
May have exteme recoil but you can controll it just pull down on your mouse or your stick
No mention of the Benet? The storm version is my gun with the most service stars. A laser beam without a bipod
Mg15 low weight all day every day, I fully expected it to be #1 when I saw the BAR as #2, shocked that it wasn't even on the list!? ;((
I love the Mg15. I just got this game yesterday and both the Mg15 light weight and suppressor both slap

Yes... the reward of the dedicated and devoted. I use it often. 😏
The support class is the most fun for switching around weapons and play styles.

1. Chauchat
2. BAR
3. Madsen
4. IMG 08/18
5. MG 15 n.A.
6. Huot Automatic
That V design tho 🤩
M1917 is my fav. Very little recoil. Easy to use with or w/o bipod and huge magazine.
As a relatively new player, here's what I want from a support (or any) gun:
When I put my target reticle over an enemy and pull the trigger, bullets come out of the gun and hit the enemy.
The Lewis gun doesn't do that.
Madsen does. Switch that sucker into semi-auto at mid to longer ranges, literally no recoil or spread, even when spamming the trigger.
You either target a player at a very long range or you're walking while shooting
Were is the MG 15 na or ther Perino Model 1908?

So many of these WWI era guns had some really neat magazines. You got the Lewis Gun with the drum mag that does a little spinarooney when you fire it to the Perino with that hopper on the left side of the weapon which I affectionately refer to as the bullet basket. Maybe it's because I'm a history buff but I've never had so much fun playing video games as I have in BF1 and BFV.
Alright so the Lewis Gun magazine is called a pan magazine. A drum mag is different think like a gangster's tommy gun for an example of a drum mag
I'm using the Parabellum LMG08 and Burton Trench
Definitely the Parrabellum and the chauchat for me ❤️
I use the Chauchat on the semi-auto fire mode, the thing is basically a Medic rifle that you can infinitely resupply. I love it
