Well this is tricky diffrent tactics required Sweden seem to have given up machine guns around 2000 no grenade launchers either. Down to vehicles for long range support if you can keep them away from the RPGs. 302 only carries 15 shots to which makes things worse. Got several ATGMs in sight & nothing to shoot them with apart from arty, finding breaking up infantry attacks is problematic without them to.

Formation #205 - HMG section, available till 2020 but only has .50 browning (no rifle calibre SFMG) for some reason. No idea why there is no SF version of the MAG.

There has already been work done on the Swedish OOB. That formation Andy quoted only goes to 1995 in the V4.5 OOB's but it goes to 2020 now. Andys looking at the revised V5 set and the revised V5 set has two 50 cal MG units V4.5 doesn't have that extend to 2020
