Depends on what type of machine gun. For most Western/NATO machine guns, the belts come packaged in 100 rounds on M13 disintegrating steel links, and these can be linked together to form as long a belt as one wishes. The linked ammunition for the FN Minimi/M249 SAW typically comes in 100 or 200 round linked increments. For your heavy 12.7mm/.50 machine guns, it's usually 100 rounds linked per box of ammo.

Depends on the gun. Some have no limit, since they are fed by a belt.
I think you mean bullets, not builts- and that varies from one machinegun to another. Some hold as few as 10, some use a belt of cartridges that could be any length.
Fire a lot of bullets very quickly.
The machine gun can shoot 400 to 500 bullets per minute, however, it wasn't that accurate.
== == The part that holds the bullets in a revolver type pistol is called the "cylinder". In an automatic type pistol it's called a "magazine".
They both fire things called 'Bullets'
Depends on the handgun. There is no one number. I have some that hold 1, some hold 15.
