EM6 is a good LMG and I been a long time user. EM6 trades off some things for adaptability. Gauss SAW doesn't have much going for it in attachments.

Both weapons have the same recoil decrease speed, but the EM6 has lower vertical recoil, which means you can tap-burst the weapon quicker than the Gauss SAW. EM6 is going to be less punishing for missing shots, the Gauss SAW suffers from missing shots because it kicks higher, your muzzle is going to center slower, which essentially means you are firing slower than the RPMs suggest. You can't rush fire the Gauss SAW. EM6 shares the same TTK as well. Basically the EM6 is going to be better a closer ranges, where rushing your bursts are more condusive. Gauss SAW needs very careful burst-fire skill.

EM6 trades off horizontal tolerance and advance forward grip for better vertical. It's first shot ADS cone of fire and muzzle velocity isn't as good, but it gets more attachments and faster reload. Reload speed is actually pretty good for the EM6 considering it's a mid-range weapon. If you were to double the short reload and magazine size of the GD-22S, you get something that is only a little faster than the EM6. EM6 has access to extended magazine on top of that for situations that are you don't want to be caught with a reload.

EM6 is a good weapon.
