During World War I, machine guns were positioned close to bunkers to maximize their defensive effectiveness. This proximity allowed for overlapping fields of fire, creating a deadly zone for advancing enemy troops. Bunkers provided protection for the machine gunners from artillery and small arms fire, enabling them to maintain their positions and sustain fire over long periods. Additionally, the close placement facilitated quick resupply and maintenance of the weapons in the harsh trench warfare environment.
