		Heavy guns such as the Vickers machine gun were joined by many other machine weapons, which mostly had their start in the early 20th century.
		The newest machine gun designs center around the Personal Defense Weapon concept, a cross between a submachine gun and a sidearm that is useful for support personnel who need a small, concealable weapon that keeps their hands free, yet provides massed firepower when needed -- roles such as security teams in occupation zones.

		So instead of going ahead with the plan to build a new.50 caliber machine-gun (the XM312), the manufacturer of the XM307 (General Dynamics) was given the go ahead on manufacturing their weapon with the stipulation that it be convertible to a plain old, non-computer,.50 caliber weapon by quickly swapping out a few parts.
		The XM312 was only eight pounds lighter than the 50 pound XM307, as the electronic component of the XM307 is not all that heavy, just expensive and always in need of fresh batteries.
		The 25mm XM307 was developed from the 1990s project to produce a 20mm computer controlled shell for an infantry weapon, as well as a heavier crew served weapon (the XM307).
