RO2:RS Type 96 (for SIG)

Type 96 LMG from Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm

Like the British Bren, this Japanese LMG is inspired by a Czechoslovak "upside-down" design. Type 96 is chambered is 6.5mm Arisaka, while Type 99 is the more powerful 7.7mm version. Both machine guns have scope mounts for 2.5x periscopic optical sights that go around the top-mounted magazine, and can be equipped with a bayonet mounted onto the gas block. However, it is highly impractical in reality, especially on the Type 99 with its long conical flash hider that shortens the effective blade reach to something of a pocket knife. Nevertheless, this was one of the deadliest and most effective weapons the Imperial Japanese Army had used.


Rising Storm 2 is a goldmine of great models, and so is its predecessor. There's several scope variants for Mosin, a Gewehr 41, and this thing: a scoped machine gun. I'm not planning on making a replacement for every slot, but that would be a great goal to pursue. I think that's a much cooler thing to do than invade other countries and commit war crimes at the orders of maniacal commanders. But some people expect me to drop everything, buy my own helmet and armor vest, bring my own first aid kit and warm clothes, grab a rusty AKM, and die driving a WW2-era tank for whatever the Motherland calls for. Because that's "based".
