This gun is the most dangerous gun. This gun also comes in Grand Theft Auto games and I complete most of the killing missions from this gun
I Like The Miniguns because it is powerful and heavy and lots of ammos the rounds is 1000 or 2000 it can be mounted by vehicle including aircraft helicopter warships and tanks this machine gun were use in vietnam war during airstrikes

2M2 Browning
This weapon redefined the heavy machine-gun mission as a powerful, general-purpose weapon rather than just a man-killer. Mount it on a tripod, a pintle, a ring-mount, ball-mount, turret or aircraft and it will still destroy anything other than a serious AVF that gets in its line of fire.

Ultra-reliable, extremely powerful, long-ranged and psychologically as well as physically devastating, the Browning M1921 series has proven itself to be among the longest-serving and most versatile weapons available on the battlefield, and remains so today.
This bad boy has been spilling guts ever since my great Grandparents was kicking. Its one bad assed gun that will leave a baseball sized hole in your wall (car, door, bad guy, annoying neighbor and the usual stray rats or ex-girlfriend)
The Minigun is overrated! Wastes a $hit load of ammo. My vote is for the good ole' Ma deuce.

3Thompson

This an American classic you can go full auto or single for accuracy this is the foundation of machine guns that are good lol the saw is modern though so etiher way but the ak can screw itself Thompson or saw 10 times better

This is not a machine gun, it is an assault rifle, and don't critisize ME, because there is a major difference.

It helped us win world war two, it should be top spot

4FN FAL

5M60

it is 1 of only 2 actual machine guns on this list, who ever made the list is stupid.

This gun is better than any gun becauses this gun use in more war than any gun this gun use in the vietnam war but this gun jams a lot and this gun could put on any veighcle

I like this gun because of the pack a punch and in real life it will kill you in a second plus it could shoot up to 850 rounds of ammo

6M16
This is a assault rifle it should not be in the conversation.

7M14
The culmination of decades of previous research, the M14 was the offspring of the M1 Garand project. Simple to mass-produce and to use, the M14 truely was a rugged, all-purpose rifle. It was accurate and packed a punch, with a larger ballistics round than the later M16. In retrospect, it was one of the most powerful and influential weapons of it's day, driving later influence for the AR-10 and other models made by Eugene Stoner. It was physically powerful and adaptable for a variety of conditions, making it the perfect weapon.
Great 7.62x51mm rifle, not sure why its on a machine gun list though! :D It's a great DMR and Sniper rifle though. I used it in Iraq in 2004 and even though I never had to shoot anybody during practice and live fire squad maneuvers I rarely missed a shot!
Best sniper still used today

8SCAR-L

9M61 Vulcan
A gatling style gun and bigger brother of the minigun. It was developed in the 1960's and powerfuller and faster than a minigun with 20mm bullets and 7200 rounds per min.
It is used in aircraft like the F-22, F-15 and F-16

GAU-8_Avenger

10GAU-8 Avenger
A much more owerfull minigun. The minigun has around 7mm bullets but GAU-8 has 30mm but it's rate of fire is lower. It's rate of fire is around 4000 bullets pre min.

The Contenders

11M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon)

m249 saw can fire from link bullet chains of 500 rounds or from magazines. it can also fire from m16 clip in an emergency. if you were shot withit you'd be dead before you felt the pain. it is th most powerful machine gun that is portable and mounted.

The m249 SAW is the best machine gun. Way better than the ak-47 and the styer aug. This weapon is used on helicopters and somtimes as turrets on the ground. You would not want to be shot by this weapon.

my111

There are quite a few differences between machine guns and full-auto rifles and submachine guns. Anyway, SAW for the win, it's an awesome weapon.

12ACR
The ACR is a really cool gun in general because of its look and quality, I think that it is the best gun in MW3 and MW2!
Minigun seriously you can't even cary that

13Steyr AUG

It is Austrian not Australian, anyway I say it is 1 of the best machine guns because it isn't just machine gun it is a assault rifle a light machine gun and an sub-machine gun on the same time it have a good rate of fire and a changeable tube which make the users be happy to use any tube, the good ammunition makes it even better (30-42 rounds) but the only problem is the low cartridge which make less assault rifle and light machine gun and more sub-machine gun

by far the best australian assault rifle, the AUG is a bullpup rifle meaning the gun is short in length and a longer barrel.

14AK-47
Any gun that can be dunked in mudd and snow and sand then fired while filled with water safely, and with a high degree of accuracy, is A+ number one tops in my book any day of the week. No other gun on the list comes close.
Aas a clip that holds a lot. It can roast an m16. It is russian. Kill ak47 kill ibelieve
20?! This Should be either 3rd, 2nd, or even 1st! This machine gun is the best machine gun in history. People in EVERY video game use it. And everyone in a war uses it basiclly! This gun is awesome!

15Fokker Leimberger
I got this info from wiki so if you don't believe its not my fault. The Fokker Leimberger was the first gatling style machine, it had 12 barrels, cable of 7200 rounds per min. Believe it or not this gun was first made in Germany WW1. It was an experimental gun and if put in production it could of made Germany win the war.

16Gatling Gun
These guns have the highest rate of fire among any other machineguns. Try to shoot a car, it will be ripped to shreds.

17Robinson Armament XCR

18MP-5

this is the only good gun here, AK is not even a machine gun, and it sucks you like it because it is popular. ITS recoil is massive, and you have to spray and pray with it. where is M240 & M249. MP5 should be 1

Low recoil, high fire rate, good accuracy, enough said.

good enough 4 the teams. what else. Seal teams that is

19MP 40

The Germans made a reliable sub-machine gun that was more accurate than anything else at the time. The sten gun didn't have great accuracy and neither did the thompson. The tommy gun did shoot a .45 but it doesn't matter if your gun is more powerful if you can't hit someone.

20Uzi

this is a great gun is has served for a long time and is used a lot great range too it has to be one of my favorite submachine guns too bad its heavy but the weight reduces recoil
