I would take a brand new MG3 (current version of the MG-42); they are just so damn cool. Not the greatest LMG in the world, but it sure is the funnest I've ever shot. And that 4 second barrel change, that's just brilliant. My next stop would be a Sterling Mk V, smoothest, most reliable SMG I ever fired. I have one of the semi-auto's and it's a great gun, but a "happy switch" would be fun.
