Editing Light machine gun (section)

===Ammunition feed===
Many light machine guns (such as the [[Bren light machine gun|Bren gun]] or the [[M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle]]) were [[magazine (firearm)|magazine]]-fed. Others, such as the [[Hotchkiss M1922]], could be fed either from a [[belt (firearms)|belt]]/[[belt (firearms)#Feed Strip|strip]] or from a [[box magazine]]. Modern light machine guns are designed to fire smaller caliber rounds and, as such, tend to be belt-fed (from a [[belt (firearm)#Container device|container]] attached to the gun) or from a detachable high-capacity [[drum magazine]], but some, such as the [[FN Minimi]], will also accept standard rifle magazine feeding as an auxiliary measure when belted ammunition has been exhausted.
