DaveTinCT: Exactly! This to me would be very realistic. To walk around with the weapon at the ready is very difficult. A M1 Rifle is fairly heavy, and is very comfortably held just across the chest.

For large and bulkier weapons like the Mg-42 or Mg-34, It would be best to represent them as being over the shoulder. I mean It weighs 28 Pounds, and when marching and fighting all day, It wears you out. I think there should be a "Readying" button that would bring the weapon to your hip for close range firing, and then a "Laying" button, this would throw your body down, and you would look down the weapons sights as it rested on it's bi-pod.

For the .30 Cal Browning, It would be good if you had a No.2 Gunner that you could tell it were to set the Tripod, and then you could lock the pindle mount into it and fire it from its position. The .30 Cal Browning is a Support weapon, not a assualt one.
