It wasn't. The machine gun has it's advantages and disadvantages, just like every other gun. It was renown for for its ability to spray out a lot of bullets very quickly. However, like all other guns, it has it's drawbacks. MG's are heavy, use a lot of ammunition, and require constant cleaning. As to your question, they aren't. You have to use the right gun for the job.

Can you use baby oil on metal... aka shotgun?

You are better off using gun oil, or at least a machine oil like sewing machine oil. Vegetable oil kind of smells, olive oil works better, but these organic oils are not as desirable as gun oil. You can use baby oil in a pinch, for a few months at a time. It is better than nothing, but you should wipe it down and replace it with a decent gun oil when you have a chance.

Are the specs on the machine gun accurate?

Well,whoever asked this question about machine gun's must not know that much about guns by just saying ''machine gun''.Anyways it depends on the type of machine gun.sub-machine guns aren't that accurate and there range isn't that good.Light-machine guns are much more accurate and have alot better range.Heavy-machine guns can shoot very fast and hard and they too are pretty accurate.When someone just says ''machine gun'' they mainly are just referring to a regular one-person operated gun that you hold and doesn't weigh very much and that is a sub-machinegun.All in all it Depends on the gun,catridge,and type of machine gun.
