I would assume that they are supporting the weapon - having the next
magazine ready to load, ready to switch barrels on an HMG, unpacking the
next load of ammo for ready use, etc... So even if they aren't doing
something at that specific moment, they are in a ready position in case
something breaks, malfunctions, needs changing, etc. so that the gunner
can concentrate his attention on targets and where they are going. 
Perhaps they are also acting as additional spotters to help direct the
gunner.
