MultiplayerEdit
The M27 is the default light machine gun for the United States Marine Corps' Support kit, and is unlocked later for both factions at 170,000 Support score. Like the other LMGs, it comes pre-equipped with a bipod. The M27 functions similarly to an M416 assault rifle sharing iron sights, reload animations with the M27 having larger barrel and magazine size, and nearly general appearance; with also the same fire rate, damage, and recoil profile, and suits aggressive tactics better than most other light machine guns, though it can perform defensively with success as well. It functions opposite of the Russian Ground Forces' RPK-74, and has similar traits: unlike the other light machineguns, the M27 and RPK both have a smaller magazine size, at 45+1 rounds, and a much faster reload as they are both fed by box magazines rather than belts. However, the RPK features a higher damage, while the M27 has a higher rate of fire. Also, the M27 IAR is the only light machine gun that does not unlock the Extended Magazine attachment.
Its quick reload, high fire rate, and small magazine make the more usual stationary tactics of light machine guns less worthwhile than belt-fed LMGs. As such, the use of the foregrip over the bipod is recommended, as the M27's mild recoil profile and short clip render any benefit of the bipod marginal. The iron sights of the gun while open, are quite large and flat, making optics useful for long range encounters. The final attachment slot is left open to preference rather than strategy, as the versatility of the gun makes any of the available attachments useful.
