Because, machine guns have a high rate of fire you can shoot multiple times without reloading, more ammunition, so you don't have to reload often. and some have very good range, for ex: the M16 has a range of up to 350-500 yards, as dose the AR-15. Machine guns also have good power too. So, to have a high rate of fire, good power, and range, is why they are important.
