  I am confused, how to classified "gun" as "machineguns"? Was it by the 100 rds magzine it carries? I know Assault rifles like M4 have being fited with 100 rds C-mag but are they considered as MGs? But British Bren only have a 30 rds banana clip and it is still a "machinegun"? can anyone enlightened me please

  Yeah, found this question in another forum but no people come post, how har i also wanna ask

  Machine gun is gun that is manufacture to provide sustain fire, that mean, the barrel must be thicker and heavier. For normal assualt rifles barrel will become too hot to maintain auto-firing.
  
  However there is cases of some army changing a heavier barrel for their normal assualt rifles and classifing them as light machine guns also. But they are sill not totally not as well suited as those that are design to be machine gun from the start.
