Light Machine Guns (LMGs) are a type of infantry weapon and equipment used by military forces around the world. They are designed to provide a high rate of fire with a large magazine capacity, allowing a single soldier to provide suppressive fire for a squad. LMGs are typically belt-fed and gas-operated, and are usually chambered in a rifle caliber. They are typically heavier than assault rifles, and are used in a variety of roles, including as a squad automatic weapon, a designated marksman rifle, or a vehicle-mounted weapon. LMGs are used by many militaries around the world, and are often seen as a key component of infantry forces. They are also used by law enforcement and security forces, as well as by private security companies. Some companies in the LMG market include Heckler & Koch, FN Herstal, Colt Defense, and Kalashnikov Concern. Show Less Read more
