List of machine guns

This is a partial list of machine guns . Only series-produced machine guns are included in the list, i.e. no drafts, prototypes or custom-made products. Whether a weapon is included in this list or in the list of submachine guns should be based on the classification in the article about the respective weapon. Normally pistol ammunition is fired with MPis, whereas rifle ammunition is fired with MGs. With short cartridges there is a smooth transition between the two types of cartridges, then the intended tactical use of the weapon as a personal weapon (MPi) or as a group weapon (MG) is decisive .

Note: Proof of the content can be found in the respective article, an overview of handguns A to Z can be found in the list of handguns .
