| - The Machine Gun, fires 50 .cal rounds with devistating effects at close range. Seen in sets of upto 4 on Mechs. They produce no heat and fire at a high rate. With low accuracy at longer ranges it's advised to wait for enemies to come up close. In a pershot basis the Machine Gun is the weakest of the ballistic weapons.
- Machine guns saw heavy use in World War Two, and so are depicted in the Day of Defeat series. As in real life, they are excellent for suppression fire and against infantry.

- The first self powered (not needing external power source like the hand-cranked Gatling Gun) was invented in 1884. Heavier Amma.jpg GUN.jpg Sigma 11.jpg descendants, the first heavy machine guns, where first used in on a large scale during World War I, where they changed the face of warfare. Their purpose is mainly to provide suppressive fire, meaning letting bullets rain over the enemy, making him get stuck behind his cover. Machine guns are divided into categories after caliber. Light and medium machine guns can be used by a single soldier, but heavy machine guns are always mounted, either stationary or on vehicles.
- Machine Guns are a primary vehicle weapon featured in the multiplayer mode Road Rage in RAGE. They are unlocked by default at level 1 and come equipped on Scout and Executioner vehicles. Being primary weapons, they have infinite ammo.
- Machine Guns are a rapid fire weapon and is very dangerous, especially up close. Machine Guns are notable for their low damage but high ammo capacity. Especially when heat was added to the game, Machine Guns are capable of devastating enemies with their high rate of fire, ripping through enemies.
- Although powerful at close range and medium, the machine gun lacks accuracy and stopping power in ranged engagements. It has a high rate of fire and a large magazine which make it lethal in its chosen field of excellence. The machine gun can only be equipped by Gunners. __TOC__
- Machine Guns are slow-moving infantry teams, which are defenseless while packed. Like Artillery Weapons, they need to deploy before being able to attack, and pack before being able to move again. When deployed, they provide extremely effective long-range firepower against all kinds of infantry. They are pretty useless when fighting anything else, however, and can be taken out easily by sending Armored Vehicles (Ranged Cavalry) or Fighter Aircraft against them.
- Each vehicle in the Twisted Metal tournament is equipped with a pair of machine guns (or more, depending on the vehicle) that serve as a backup weapon in case the competitor has no weapons in their inventory. While relatively weak, machine guns have an unlimited amount of ammo and, in some games, can even be used indefinitely. The machine guns are usually placed at the front of each vehicle, with one on each side of it. The actual design of the machine guns may vary by vehicle, but do not overly affect the performance of the weapon. Wide mounted guns may only have one hit, while the other misses if not aimed.
- A machine gun is a type of firearm that is designed to fire bullets at a rapid rate, typically at least several hundred per minute. Machine guns come in a number of calibers, each suited to a particular role. Machine guns should not be confused with cannon, a similarly self-loading repeating weapon, distinguished from machine guns by a slower fire rate and considerably larger caliber. Machine guns are usually available in .30, .40 and .50 caliber, and are typically fitted to combat aircraft either singly or in linked pairs.
