The phrase "Machine gun" is a generic term for any weapon that utilizes fully-automatic fire.

In the Resident Evil series, Machine Gun is the designation for Submachine guns, Assault RiflesLight Machine guns & Heavy Machine guns. These weapons often are hard to obtain, have a limited supply of ammunition, and 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.

To avoid same ammo usage problems with Handguns in the games; SMG's use custom pistol ammo, different from handgun bullets. (an execption is the Submachine gun of the Outbreak series, which uses the same 9mm ammo of handguns)

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.

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.

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 2 Heavy Machine Guns available to the player in the Resident Evil franchise has been the M134 Minigun and M197 20mm Gatling Gun found in Resident Evil 5.
