Less familiar than legacy platforms, machine guns from Gestamen Arms take the lead during a recent live-fire training in Hungary. The G224 LMG and G762 MG are both made by Gestamen in Hungary. I’m not entirely sure exactly which model is used here, as they look very similar, but they are all using Magpul drum magazines. The training was conducted by soldiers from the MH László Sodró 102nd Chemical Warfare Regiment at the Bakonykút shooting range. While the PKM is also present, much of the attention is drawn to the Gestamen platforms and how they are being handled in a structured training environment. The focus of the exercises remains consistent: stable weapon handling, controlled bursts, and repeatable accuracy under recoil. These are core machine gun skills, regardless of platform.These Gestamen machine guns represent newer entries in the belt-fed category alongside more established systems, and we’ll take a closer look at both of them in another article.For more Hungarian firearms, check out the “ Hungarian Gestamen Arms G9 HSP: Hammer and Striker in One Pistol” article.Image Source: https://defence.hu/
