The MAG 58 was pitted against the M60E2, M219, German MG3, British L7A2, French AAT NF1 (vehicular version of the AAT 52), Canadian C1 (Browning Model 1919A4 in 7.62mm NATO) and the Soviet PKM.
On combat operations the MAG should be carried in "condition 1" with bolt retracted, the safety on (until engagement is imminent) and a belt in the feed way.
The MAG should be carried by the sling with the bipod legs extended so that it may be fired from the hip assault position at the instant of contact.
