I along with others want Heavy Machine Guns to be part of Destiny 2 once more. While I see why Bungie doesn't want to have Machine Guns be a dominant factor, I think there is a way to have them without causing too much trouble.
Make machine guns a different type of Auto Rifle as an intrinsic perk.
Example: Heavy Frame
- This Weapon has significantly greater ammunition per clip at the cost reload speed and handling. This weapon is more accurate when stationary or behind cover
There is no need to buff the damage seeing how most Auto Rifles are pretty good at where they are.

If you get a chance use the sweet business and the war rig combo closest thing to a lmg I can find
