| - Small Arms Master Gunner (SAMG) is an appointment of a subject matter expert in the field of small arms, optics, and lasers for combat units. Not all units have Small Arms Master Gunners. Units who understand that the knowledge of operating a weapon in conjunction with the myriad assortment of optics and lasers to their fullest extent employ SAMG's to help keep their operators current on these devices. Having a "go-to-guy" at the Division, Brigade, and Battalion levels, who can supply the correct off-sets for bore-lighting the lasers, and who not only understands, but can teach how to zero the optics correctly is an invaluable commodity in the Combat Arms Arena.

In the United States Infantry, Small Arms Master Gunners are experts in all aspects of the units weapon systems. The "weapon systems" range from the standard Infantry rifle with optic and laser, assigned machine guns and grenade launchers, with optics and lasers, as well as any specialized (Sniper) weapons that may be fielded. The Small Arms Master Gunners fill advisory rather than command posts. They are trained to assist in the planning, development, execution, and evaluation of all weapon systems, to include crew served weapons related training (individual, crew, and collective), unit planning for ranges, and are able to resource needed materials for each piece of equipment.
