Remember, the Zaku FZ machinegun is 120mm (according to model's
instruction pamphlet and other sources that were out when 0080 first
came out). The MMP-80 is only 90mm, and was basically a re-tool of the
FZ's gun done for 0083. They probably wanted to use familiar existing
designs for 0083, and I could see how they would want to change the
caliber (since everyone knows the standard Zaku rifle is 120mm, and it
would be a bit odd having two rifles with the same caliber in use - so
they just changed the caliber of one to explain away its use).
