AI overview
A machine gun is a firearm that can fire bullets continuously and automatically as long as the trigger is held down, and it can be either mounted in a fixed position or carried by a person. Machine guns matter because their rapid-fire capability makes them significant weapons in military and law enforcement contexts, and they are heavily regulated or restricted in most civilian settings due to their destructive potential.
