Machine Guns And Automatic Weapons

Automatic support weapons fired from a mount, bipod or crew position rather than carried as a personal sidearm: light, medium, heavy and general-purpose machine guns. Belongs here: any weapon system whose own attested weapon class names a machine gun family. Does not belong here: an automatic personal rifle or submachine gun, which belongs to Small Arms And Sidearms, and an automatic grenade launcher, which belongs to Grenades And Explosives since it fires a munition rather than a bullet. Reassigned from the Weapons Systems Contemporary catch-all, ruling 926.
