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.

Machine guns were placed close to bunkers in World War I to maximize their effectiveness in defending against enemy assaults. This proximity allowed for concentrated firepower, enabling defenders to cover vital approaches and create deadly fields of fire. Additionally, placing machine guns near bunkers provided better protection for the gun crews, as the bunkers offered shelter from enemy fire and shrapnel. This strategic positioning was crucial in trench warfare, where static defenses faced relentless attacks.
