At its core, war has not changed throughout human history. Nevertheless, her instruments change every century and even a decade. Especially after the weapon became firearms. All records in this area were broken by the XX century, as well as the beginning of the XXI. Today we will see and remember the most successful examples of automatic weapons - machine guns, submachine guns and assault rifles from around the world.
1. Heckler & Koch MP5K
The family of submachine guns, which is simply incredibly popular in our time. Literally every schoolboy knows about weapons, in many respects not without the help of Hollywood, who has a long-standing relationship with Heckler & Koch. Specifically, the MP5 is loved and respected for its simplicity and reliability. The design of the PP has not fundamentally changed since 1966, from the very moment the weapon appeared. At the same time, the most successful is the MP5K modification, a shortened PP with an additional handle, which was born in 1976.
2. Ceska Zbrojovka Scorpion EV03
Despite its modest age, this submachine gun has already managed to prove itself quite well in the market. The weapon was developed in Slovakia, and the Czech Republic is currently engaged in its production. CZ EV03 has been produced since 2010. The weapon is not suitable for use in full-scale hostilities, however, due to its lightness and compactness, it has become extremely popular in the police and special forces.
3. Heckler & Koch UMP
If the Germans can do anything well, besides cars, it is weapons. Another "handsome" from the second half of the 1990s and is an addition to the MP5 family. If it seems that only a steamed turnip can be simpler than the "five", then this is not so. Oddly enough, but the UMP design is much simpler than that of its technical and ideological predecessor. At the same time, thanks to modern materials, the machine does not lose in reliability.
4. M2 Browning
The large-caliber American machine gun of the John Browning system was born back in 1933. The machine gun is still in use. Over the past and present century, M2 has managed to visit almost all armed conflicts. Only in one World War II, only infantry variants were produced about 400 thousand copies, not counting the heavy machine guns for technology. The machine gun is so accurate that it is sometimes converted for sniper shooting.
5. M1919 Browning
Another machine gun-long-lived Browning system. The sample was adopted immediately after the First World War and held out in the US Army until the 1970s. High rate of fire - more than 600 rounds per minute, made it one of the most formidable machine guns of its time. In hot spots comes across to this day.
6. M60
American machine gun 1957, which was destined to become perhaps the most famous overseas machine gun in the world. Largely thanks to all the same cinema. It is noteworthy that the machine gun was not famous for its reliability or "performance", from which the Americans were forced to constantly refine it. Only the 1995 M60E4 model was really successful.
7. FN F2000
Lightweight and durable machine from the FN Herstal company. Curvy design, plastic stock and stock, design suitable for left-handed and right-handed use of the FN Herstal. All of this (and more) makes the F2000 more of a work of art. Nevertheless, the weapon gained great popularity in the special forces of many countries of the world.

8. Colt M4
American carbine, which was created on the basis of the ill-fated M16A2 and is in service with the US Army as of today. A really successful sample of weapons, in which all the problems and shortcomings of its predecessors were solved. Operated by absolutely all units of the American army. One of the first standard assault rifles in the world, which includes a huge amount of additional equipment and accessories in the basic set. To date, the Americans have indeed been able to set a trend in this matter.

9. M240E6
Another American machine gun, which entered the US Army in 1977 and is used to this day in both the Army and the Navy. Today it is perhaps the most popular machine gun of the American army, which is used both on the machine and as a hand one. In the late 1990s, a modification of the M240E6 appeared with a titanium alloy case.
