Best LMG-My Opinion

After playing for more than 60 hours, in my opinion, the Pulemyot 762 is the best LMG in Modern Warfare 3.

The Pulemyot 762 provides the best damage and recoil with great handling that makes it the best LMG in Modern Warfare 3. I like the handling and accuracy, as just a few shots can take down enemies in quick succession. But you can go for other options in LMG as well, such as the DG-58 LSW or the Holger 26.
