Machine Gun In stock

A machine gun is a fully automatic, rifled autoloading firearm designed for sustained direct fire with rifle cartridges. Other automatic firearms such as assault rifles and automatic rifles are typically designed more for firing short bursts rather than continuous firepower and are not considered machine guns.

As a class of military kinetic projectile weapons, the guns are designed to be mainly used as infantry support weapons and generally used when attached to a bipod or tripod, a fixed amount, or a heavy weapons platform for stability against recoils. Many of them also use belt feeding and open bolt operation, features not normally found on other infantry firearms. Order Mossberg Online at 38 Spacial Ammo
