The 7.62mm L7A2 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) or ‘Gimpy’ was built under license by the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield, and was used extensively by British military units after they phased out both the Vickers machine gun and the Bren and is still very much in use today.
The L7A2 is primarily a handheld shoulder-fired variant as used by infantry
units in various conflicts including the Middle East, Falklands, Kosovo, and Afghanistan.
As standard it comes with a bi-pod, but for sustained fire was mounted to a
tripod mount.

The smaller and lighter 5.56mm Minimi light machine gun has supplemented the GPMG, but the superior stopping firepower of the larger round from the GPMG still means it is a firm favorite for many foot patrols and fixed positions in many conflicts.
