Right now the page categorizes as a Battle Rifle. However, other sources out there categorize it as an automatic rifle/light machine gun.

:I'd certainly say so; it was intended as a hybrid rifle/LMG hybrid, hence some of its strange features (e.g. the closed-bolt semi-auto/open-bolt full-auto setup, the presence of a bipod and a bayonet, etc.). It's sort of like what the U.S. intended with the [[M14]], except that it actually worked as a support weapon, instead of trying to physically wrench itself from your grasp in full-auto.

Discussion
Can the FG 42 be categorized as a Machine Gun?
Right now the page categorizes as a Battle Rifle. However, other sources out there categorize it as an automatic rifle/light machine gun. Are these categories valid? --Wuzh (talk) 19:36, 28 November 2018 (EST)
