Which is the better choice?

Thanks.

It does not make a great deal of difference in the great scheme of things. Overall, I would go for HE kill as the choice with all other factors being equal, unless accuracy is maybe 2-3 times the other's.

A few hexes more range is much more important - the old maxim-style water cooled weapons usually are given 30 range vs 24 for most GPMG types (24). I'll have a WW1 steam-driven Vickers, MG08 or maxim any day (provided I don't intend to move it far!) - especially in the desert or the steppes. Cheaper than a 12.7.
