  • Machine Gun Aptitude/Expertise/Intuition/Mastery/Skill/Specialism/Talent

Capabilities[]

Users possess great proficiency, capabilities and knowledge in using machine guns, fully automatic, rifled autoloading firearms designed for sustained direct fire with rifle cartridges. As a class of military kinetic projectile weapon, machine guns are designed to be mainly used as infantry support weapons and generally used when attached to a bipod or tripod, a fixed mount or a heavy weapons platform for stability against recoils. Many machine guns also use belt feeding and open bolt operation, features not normally found on other infantry firearms.

Applications[]

Variations[]

  • General-Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG): An air-cooled, usually belt-fed machine gun that can be adapted flexibly to various tactical roles for light and medium machine guns. A GPMG typically features a quick-change barrel design calibered for various fully powered cartridges, and be configured for mounting to different stabilizing platforms from bipods and tripods to vehicles, aircraft, boats and fortifications, usually as an infantry support weapon or squad automatic weapon.
  • Heavy Machine Gun (HMG): Significantly larger than light, medium or general-purpose machine guns. HMGs are typically too heavy to be man-portable (carried by one person) and require mounting onto a weapons platform to be operably stable or tactically mobile, have more formidable firepower, and generally require a team of personnel for operation and maintenance.
  • Light Machine Gun (LMG): A light-weight machine gun designed to be operated by a single infantryman, with or without an assistant, as an infantry support weapon. LMGs firing cartridges of the same caliber as the other riflemen of the same combat unit are often referred to as squad automatic weapons.
  • Medium Machine Gun (MMG): A belt-fed machine gun firing a full-powered rifle cartridge, and is considered "medium" in weight (15–40 lb or 6.8–18.1 kg). Medium machine guns are light enough to be infantry-portable (as opposed to a heavy machine gun, which completely relies on mounting onto a weapons platform for operational stability and mobility), but still cumbersome enough to require a crew for optimal operational efficiency (as opposed to a light machine gun, which can be operated to full capacity by only a single gunner).
