:An LMG would not be a suitable replacement for an SMG; the weapons fulfill two different roles. With that said, being an LMG, I'd expect it to have more effective range than an MA5 assault rifle, but less effective range on point (individual) targets than a BR55 (or any variant thereof). <b>[[User:Smoke.|<span style="color:Gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Smoke</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Smoke.|<span style="color:Gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Sound off!</span>]]</sup></b> 22:38, 28 September 2012 (EDT)

==Real-World Weapon Inspiration?==
Here's a question: what kind of real-world does this remind you of? Myself personally, it kind of reminds me a little bit of the RPD light machine gun used during the Vietnam War, and a little bit of M60 and the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, as I've seen those fitted out with drum magazines on occasion. But as I'm merely speculating, I'm still wondering, what real-world weapon inspired the M739 LMG SAW? I have watched some of the ''Halo 4'' development videos on Halo Waypoint, particularly the one where they were recording weapons sounds. But I never found out anything that might have inspired the design of the M739 LMG SAW. If someone could provide this information, it would be a very interesting little bit of trivia information to add to the article. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmit</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 16:48, 14 June 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
