In modern practice, it is an air-cooled medium machine gun, firing rifle cartridges such as the 7.62×51mm NATO, 7.62×54mmR, or 7.92x57mm Mauser. It is generally operated from a stationary position from either a bipod or tripod, or otherwise mounted on a vehicle, as it is usually too powerful and heavy to be fired effectively on foot from an unsupported standing position or on the move.

The GPMG barrel can be removed and replaced within seconds - in use, the barrel quickly heats up, necessitating its replacement after 200-400 rounds of continuous fire; once cooled down, the barrel can be reused.
