Okay, Assault can keep it up for 30 seconds, doing the above mentioned damage, MM can keep it up for 40 seconds, dealing 3877 damage, Survrine can keep it up for 238 seconds, dealing 10206 damage without rapidfire and 13087 damage with rapidfire.

For a 10 minute interval they will deal the following damages in arithmetic mean: Assault 14555.5 damage, MM 7131 damage, Survrine without rapidfire 19697.7 damage, Survrine with rapidfire 25257.5 damage. As you see in terms of short bursts of damage the MM can keep up with those two, maybe even does better because of his better vision, but in the long run a Survrine outclasses even the "HMG-King" aka Assault.
