The major problem that I see with the L-5 is the bulk of the ammo. Way bulkier than a belt for the M-60 or the SAW for the same number of rounds. Firing 5 rounds at a time as it is capable of, it could eat-up a lot of ammo in a hurry. The M-60 was a lot of weight for a grunt to have to hump, even if belts were shared with other squad members.
