In a general context, a "machine gun" is a rapid-fire, fully automatic firearm capable of firing a continuous stream of bullets with a single press of the trigger. It is designed for sustained, high-volume shooting and is typically used in military and combat settings. Machine guns are known for their ability to deliver a rapid and continuous rate of fire, making them effective for suppressing enemy forces and providing covering fire in battle. They come in various sizes and configurations, from handheld submachine guns to mounted heavy machine guns, and they have played a significant role in modern warfare due to their firepower and suppressive capabilities.
