General purpose machine guns are a vital component of modern warfare, providing firepower and versatility on the battlefield. From the Belgian FN MAG 62mm to the Russian Degtyarev DP, these weapons have proven their effectiveness in various conflicts worldwide. In one scene, a U. S. Marine can be seen test firing an M240 heavy machine gun from the back of an MV-22B Osprey, showcasing its ability to deliver suppressive fire while on the move. Meanwhile, another soldier instructs an Iraqi army soldier as he fires a PKC machine gun with precision and skill. The Baghdad Hotel becomes a strategic location as both PKM 62 Machine Gun and PK 62mm machine gun nests are positioned atop it during Operation Iraqi Freedom. These guns provide cover and protection for troops operating in hostile environments. A Welsh Guards training session at Sennybridge training area demonstrates their dedication to honing their skills with general purpose machine guns. Whether it's carrying rounds for an M240G medium machine gun or handling a weapon atop a Unimog vehicle, soldiers undergo rigorous training to ensure they can effectively utilize these powerful firearms. At an observation post, a M240B medium machine gun is carefully positioned to provide surveillance and defense capabilities against potential threats.
