Here is my code for the Browning MG:

This is a straight cut and relocate of the 1.13 Browning M1919A6 from it's standard position at 627 to it's new position at 7. The only other thing to change here is <ubClassIndex> being changed to 7 to correspond to Weapons.xml

Here is the Weapons.xml code
<WEAPON>
<uiIndex>7</uiIndex>

<usOverheatingDamageThreshold>21000</usOverheatingDamageThreshold>
<usOverheatingSingleShotTemperature>140</usOverheatingSingleShotTemperature>
</WEAPON>

Index position 7 (same as in items.xml) <ubCalibre> set to 46 (.30-06), magsize is 100. Otherwise, no changes.

For the ammo belt 'magazine', starting with Items.xml
<ITEM>
<uiIndex>11</uiIndex>
<szItemName>.30-06 Belt AP</szItemName>
<szLongItemName>.30-06 Belt, AP</szLongItemName>
<szItemDesc>This belt contains 100 rounds of standard .30-06 AP ammo.</szItemDesc>
<szBRName>.30-06 Belt AP</szBRName>
<szBRDesc>This belt contains 100 rounds of standard .30-06 AP ammo.</szBRDesc>
<usItemClass>1024</usItemClass> <!-- Item Class, Ammo -->
<nasLayoutClass>1</nasLayoutClass>
<ubClassIndex>9</ubClassIndex> <!-- Points to index #9 in magazines xml -->
<ItemFlag>256</ItemFlag> <!-- Item Flag, Ammo Belt -->
<ubGraphicType>1</ubGraphicType>
<ubGraphicNum>164</ubGraphicNum> <!-- icon graphic -->
<ubWeight>33</ubWeight>
<ItemSize>27</ItemSize>
<usPrice>750</usPrice>
<ubCoolness>6</ubCoolness>
<Metal>1</Metal>
<Sinks>1</Sinks>
<usOverheatingCooldownFactor>100.0</usOverheatingCooldownFactor>
<STAND_MODIFIERS />
<CROUCH_MODIFIERS />
<PRONE_MODIFIERS />
</ITEM>

This is a cut/paste/modify of the 7.62x51mm AP ammo belt in standard 1.13 (found at items.xml index position 125). Changes made are to the flavor text as well as the <ubClassIndex> now being set to position 9.

And here is Magazines.xml
<MAGAZINE>
<uiIndex>9</uiIndex>
<ubCalibre>46</ubCalibre> <!-- Caliber -->
<ubMagSize>100</ubMagSize> <!-- Magazine Capacity -->
<ubAmmoType>1</ubAmmoType> <!-- Ammo Type, FMJ, AP, etc -->
<ubMagType>0</ubMagType> <!-- Magazine Type -->
</MAGAZINE>

In my AmmoTypes.xml I moved the AP ammo to position 1, eliminating the HP ammo type.

With all of this done, I can get the game to issue the ammo belt during IMP merc creation using IMPItemChoices.xml Default Items list. But the game will not issue the weapon.
