The phrase '''"Machine Gun"''' is a generic term for any weapon that utilizes fully-automatic fire. In Resident Evil, '''Machine Gun''' is often the designation for one or more weapons within a game that are capable of automatic fire. These weapons often are either hard to obtain, have a limited supply of ammunition, or do less damage per shot that other firearms. While a game may feature machine guns that use a variety of different caliber rounds, the ammo collected by the player might very well be used in all machine guns, so as to keep the game from becoming too complicated.

The phrase "Machine Gun" is a generic term for any weapon that utilizes fully-automatic fire. In Resident Evil, Machine Gun is often the designation for one or more weapons within a game that are capable of automatic fire. These weapons often are either hard to obtain, have a limited supply of ammunition, or do less damage per shot that other firearms. While a game may feature machine guns that use a variety of different caliber rounds, the ammo collected by the player might very well be used in all machine guns, so as to keep the game from becoming too complicated.

Categories

Machine Guns can be sorted into several different categories:

Sub-Machine Guns

A Sub-Machine Gun is a fully automatic weapon that fires pistol-sized cartridges. These weapons often do less damage per round, but feature a higher rate of fire.

Assault Rifles

Firing a more powerful and more accurate round than a sub-machine gun, the Assault Rifle is a lethal combination of range and firepower. These weapons are often a much more desired weapon in Resident Evil, although a usual shortage of ammunition forces the player to conserve.

Light Machine Gun

A compromise between an assault rifle and a sub-machine gun, the General Purpose Machine Gun, or Light Machine Gun, as it is also known, is designed to give the common foot soldier the kind of firepower that is normally limited to mounted weapons.

When the gun name appears with an asterisk at the end, it means that the gun is mounted and can't be used outside the position it is mounted in.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Heavy Machine Guns

A heavy machine gun is potentially the most lethal and effective weapon available. Designed for sustained fire, a massive ammunition reserve, a higher rate of fire, and firing a much larger round than other automatic weapons, a heavy machine gun can turn the tide of a battle. Currently, the only Heavy Machine Gun available to the player in the Resident Evil franchise has been the M134 Minigun.
