	Machine Gun - MSN Encarta
		Gas-operated weapons were devised as a means to increase the rate of fire of machine guns while at the same time reducing their weight.
		Machine guns are grouped into four general categories: light machine guns; general-purpose, or medium, machine guns; heavy machine guns; and externally powered machine guns.
		Light machine guns use ammunition of.30 caliber (7.62 mm) or less and are designed to have minimum weight so that a single soldier may use them.

	Coaxial weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nearly all main battle tanks have a coaxial machine gun mounted to fire along the same axis as the main gun.
		In some cases, especially on earlier tanks, ballistically matched ammunition was used in the coaxial machine gun to sight the main gun using tracer rounds.
		The coaxially mounted weapon on these vehicles is the M240 machine gun, giving the tank commander a choice between using either the main gun or the lighter machine gun, as the situation dictates.

	M240 7.62mm Armor Machine Gun
		The U.S. Army adopted the Belgian Fabrique National MAG medium machine gun as the M240 in 1977 to replace the M73/M219 7.62mm and M85.50 caliber tank machine guns.
		Thus, the gun functions automatically as long as it is supplied with ammunition and the trigger is held to the rear.
		The bolt enters the barrel breech as the operating rod is driven forward by the drive spring, and as the locking lever, which the bolt is riding on, swings forward, pushing the bolt forward and locking it to the barrel breech.

		British Paratroops in the Falklands War to "dial in" machine gun fire with accuracy using tripods/TandEs was critical in their drive to push the Argentines off the forward slopes indirectly with the gun team under the safety of terrain masking defilade; a "poor man's mortar".

	6.5 Grendel As a Machine Gun Cartridge
		The bottom line is that our M240 crew and their helpers hump a total of 138 lbs and our 6.5G M249 crew hauls 98 lbs, a weight savings of 40 lbs, or 71%.
		Given all this, it’s at least worth considering that the soul of an M240 could be contained in the body of an upchambered 6.5 Grendel M249.
		The 6.5 Grendel has the potential to give medium machine gun crews the same, if not better, trajectory and wind drift and recoil (all adding up to increased hit probability), as well as terminal ballistics than 7.62 M80, but for 71% of the weight.

		The basic design of the MAG is no more than a time-proven Browning action, taken from the M1918 BAR automatic rifle, turned upside down and adopted for belt feed.
		The M240 is fed using the disintegrating steel belts of various lengths.
		Standard guns are fitted with the pistol grip and trigger, and the wooden (early models) or plastic (present manufacture) butt, coaxial guns (like M240C) have the trigger replaced by the electric solenoid, and the pintle-mounted versions, like the M240D, have the spade grips instead of the pistol grip and the butt.
