machine gun

マシンガン 機関銃 MG 机枪 機槍

A firearm designed for sustained automatic fire. Machine guns are distinguished from assault rifles and battle rifles by size and ammunition capacity.

Machine guns are divided into three categories:

  • Light machine guns: Fires intermediate-power cartridges (except earlier and World War II designs like the Bren). Light enough to be operated by one personnel. Are either belt-fed or magazine
  • Medium (general-purpose) machine guns: Fire full-power rifle cartridges and serve in both infantry and emplaced roles. It typically require a crew to operate, due to their bulk.
  • Heavy machine guns: Fires large-caliber cartridges (at least 12 mm but less than 20 mm), dedicated for anti-materiel role. Because of their weight and large size, HMGs are typically restricted to stationary positions.
