BMQ and Guns

[chrisf]

The term 'gun' is usually used on things over 20mm. Hence a gun is used by the artillery (105mm, 155mm), etc.

However, the generic term 'machine gun' is usually referred to something belt fed. MGs here are called GSMGs, GPMGs, and LSWs. I rarely hear the word 'machine gun'.

Right or wrong, we were always taught that "gun" (As well as weapon/machine gun) was acceptable nomenclature for machine guns (The C9/C6 etc). Don't know what everyone elses take on that is,\.
