| In the infantry role the GPMG is designed to serve as either a Light Machine Gun (LMG) or as a Sustained Fire Machine Gun (SFMG). In the LMG role it is fired from a bipod, and in the SFMG mode from a tripod. The gun may also be fired from pedestal mounts on various vehicles, boats, etc.
The Turret/Vehicle Mounted and Coaxial Armament Guns are designed for use in AFV’s. The guns may be quickly converted for use in the ground role by fitting a butt, bipod and barrel, which are carried in the vehicle.
The Coaxial Armament version is mounted alongside the main armament on battle tanks. The rate of fire is controlled by a gas plug which has one gas port and three compensating holes. As the gun warms up the compensating holes uncover, regulating the gasses and stabilizing the rate of fire at 625 - 750 rounds per minute. The muzzle is fitted with a combined flash hider/fume extractor.
