Ever since their great nerf in Y2, lmgs just haven't felt worth using.
My thoughts are give all LMGs a blanket 15% damage buff vs minors and a 10% buff vs majors.
Then give exotic lmgs an additional 5% buff vs both minors and majors.
Next fine tune the sub families a bit. So rapid fire gain an additional 5% buff vs minors. Adaptive remain unchanged. High impacts get an extra 5% vs majors and crits.

Honestly lmgs are worthless. There is no situation you would want to use one. Dps bad. Purpose of slaying low level ads bad. Ability to kill majors bad, champions bad. Its a worthless weapon type currently
