| The GPMG
(General Purpose Machine Gun) when used in the SF (Sustained Fire) role,
i.e tripod mounted, is used as a medium machine gun (MMG) to support the
company in offensive & defensive operations, as well as during withdrawal.
In this role the
GPMG SF is very effective, and can accurately hit point targets up to
1800 metres away or provide fire over an area. The crew of three consists
of the gunner, loader and the DC (detachment commander).
The weapon's sight
is used in conjunction with an aiming post to allow the crew to engage
targets that they cannot see, due to fog, smoke or darkness. Its relative
lightweight allows the weapon and ammunition to be carried quickly into
action by its three man crew.
