Re: BREN/BAR THOUGHTS

GPMG-a NATO type  designation for a belt fed tipod mounted  GENERAL
PURPOSE MACHINE GUN (usually a LMG with a folded bipod	using the
tripod mounting and maybe  special sighting equipment, like an MG-34 or
MG-42.

supposedly there was a provision to mount an M-60 in this manner too,
but i never saw it done. 

i think the UK were the first ones to actually come up with the
classification GPMG for a tripod mounted LMG.
