Edit: you guys are killing my battery! Stop replying! Just accept you're wrong and move on. No one is perfect, not even me(though I'm damn close if you ask my girl friend) it's okay!! And yes I'm aware this will get me even more responses. Prove me wrong and shush! Fiiiine! Be jerks. I've disabled notifications for now. Sorry for trying to help you people!
They are heavy machine guns! This is how bungie even refers to them, not LMG!
Edit: this has been very entertaining, thank you all for making this my most popular thread evar! Keep it coming!
But okay, to address a few points that have been made:
First "in the military a machine gun of this size is called a LMG blah blah blah." Well LA de dah! Good for the military! This is not the military, this is DESTINY, a video game, not real life.
Second: "in real life an HMG is mounted on a vehicle or some other stable platform!" Again, this is not real life, this is a video game! Our HMGs are mounted! They are mounted on our big burly space magic wielding guardians. We are strong enough and magical enough we don't need them mounted! Also as a side note I'm curious what people think of the machine guns in Halo that were mounted. Did they go from HMGs when they were mounted but when master chief ripped one off did it become an LMG?
Third, "what about just machine gun, as that's what they are called in destiny." While yes, they are just called machine guns and I applaud your willingness to compromise, they are indeed still HMGs. The heavy part is implied because they go into the heavy weapon slots.
And finally, the quote from bungie, and they obviously know more about their own game than you folks:
HMGs
· Improved HMG projectile networking.

Keep it coming though, I appreciate all the responses even though the vast majority of you folks are wrong. :)
Edit 2: also, yallerhorn, not gallerjorn! And "a lot" not "alot" while I'm educating you guys.

so what is the proper Muscle/Fat ratio for a light machine gun Vs a heavy machine gun?
-
-
Everyone have a heavy rocket launcher with tracking?
-
Keep those notifications coming guys
-
What do you have against the Light Machine Guns and Guh-allerhorn?
-
Keep replying let's kill that battery
-
But the galla-horn is my favorite LMG in the game. And I have alot of them so I can be the judge of that.

If it was a heavy machine gun, it'd be mounted on the back on some armored vehicle, but okay... -

Wow, how simple your life must be to get this worked up over whether people call a gun in a video game by its given classification or not. I truly do envy you, sir.
-
It's a heavy machine gun, I recall playing Metal Slug and picking up box when all the sudden "HEAVY MACHINE GUN!" would be announced as I wielded it with my two hands and slaughtered many aliens.
-
I love my new dead orbit LMG. It's an awesome LMG! You should try for it! You'd be surprised
-
They look kinda light if you put them side by side with my torch hammer... Js.
-
*yawn* I made the best post ever, you got a 1000 replies so have I and I made people rage about the gallarhorn. Get the -blam!- out peasant

I agree that it's not an LMG. I think it qualifies as it is named. A machine gun. It is in the heavy for the purpose that is heavy to carry but so are LMGs. However if they were LMGs that would be in the name. So compromise is correct. Machine gun. Machine guns can be carried. Many weapons of our past were called machine guns that were carried.
