Yeah, the LMG's in CoP are really goddamn good, but it's kind of a bummer that you don't get any of them until Pripyat, where the game kind of takes a turn for the less-awesome, since all the quests become painfully linear. Still cool though, and I recommend you try SMRTER .42, or maybe wait until the next version comes out, since it's going to include a custom (!!!) map.
