Hmm. I think you info-bombed some parts of the page there, Ve3. Also you cut out some appropriate reference material.

It's not a revert candidate by any means, but I think there has to be some happy medium to find here. Georgewilliamherbert 07:50, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New info

Can someone verify the new information added by 71.131.241.44? Ultimaga | Talk 02:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just reverted. They conflated the category of Squad Automatic Weapon with Medium Machinegun. Definite mistake. SAWs are in increasingly common usage, but that doesn't change the definition of MMG in any way, despite 71.131.241.44's confusion... Georgewilliamherbert 07:14, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same as a General Purpose Machine Gun?

Isn't MMG pretty much synonymous with GPMG these days? If so, the pages should be merged. If not, notes should be added about how they're different.

They're definitely not the same as a SAW - that's a synonym for LMG!

My hunch is that GPMG is a British/Commonwealth term, and MMG is a USAian term, although i could be wrong.
