Did you want to know what calibers were used in machine guns or perhaps what cartridges are for machine guns only.
Before the development of a rapid fire firearm (the machine gun) the fastest you could shoot would be with repeater rifles which couldn't hold as much ammunition as a machine gun could.
It varies. Generally speaking, if one pull of the trigger will cause the weapon to fire unitl all available ammunition is expended, you have a machine gun.
No. It is an assault rifle. It can fire automatically like a machine gun, but only for short bursts because of its fixed barrel and small ammunition capacity.
Measurements as in ammunition size? 45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol)
23.15 lbs, plus ammunition.
An automatic firearm is a firearm that will fire as long as the trigger is pressed and there is ammunition available. Some examples of automatic firearms are a machine gun, submachine gun, and machine pistol.
The .45 Thompson sub-machine gun and M3 sub machine gun (grease gun) were used in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam War. A sub-machine gun is called a SUB machine gun because it uses "pistol" ammunition. The M3 sub-machinegun looked exactly like a grease gun; hence the name.
The weight of 100 rounds of ammunition for an M60 machine gun, specifically the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge, is approximately 22 pounds (10 kg). This includes the weight of the links and the ammunition itself. The exact weight may vary slightly based on the specific type of ammunition used, but 22 pounds is a good estimate for this quantity.
Basically, a weapon that will continue to fire, as long as ammunition is fed, while the trigger is held back.
yes there is.....basically a hopper that feeds the rounds into a belt. yes there is.....basically a hopper that feeds the rounds into a belt.

A machine gun is a firearm that with one pull of the trigger will feed and fire 2 or more rounds in succession. Most machine guns are belt fed and fire high powered rifle ammunition. Similar weapons include Assault Rifles and Sub-machine Guns which fire intermediate and pistol caliber rounds. An example of a machine gun would be a Browning M1919 or Browning M2.
