 Divisional Machine Guns
Machine gun companies that were attached to infantry battalions designated as division or brigade reserve for a particular mission were usually placed under direct command of their respective brigade commanders, to fill gaps of fire and to protect the brigade flanks.
When they employed their guns in that fashion, the machine gun officers often ran into opposition from the rifle company commanders, who preferred to have the guns farther forward, fearing that their infantrymen would be at risk of stray low rounds as they advanced under the overhead machine gun fire.
Machine gun tactical doctrine dictated that in the defense the Hotchkiss guns should only rarely be located within 100 yards of the front line and that at least two-thirds of the guns should be echeloned back through the whole defensive position, located so that adjacent guns would be mutually supporting.

Differing from the musket, the modern gun is rifled, excluding smoothbores on tanks, AFVs and artillery, with a series of grooves spiraling along the barrel, and indeed the first rifles were known as 'rifled guns'.
The term "gun" is often used synonymously with firearm, but in military usage the term refers only to artillery that fires projectiles at high velocity, such as tank guns, or naval guns.
In the case of nuclear artillery it should not be confused with the gun that fires the whole warhead.
