MikeAP, per the APP-6 Mil Symbols for Land Based Systems (july 86) the symbol we have is for a machine gun (generic). Looking at 6A you are correct that a more definitive symbol would be a double bar for a light MG and a triple bar for a heavy MG. I'll note the issue and look to fix it for 2.1 and any forward projects.
Thanks for the detailed catch!
