Bren LMG/INSAS LMG was the weapon of choice for vehicle mounted 'machine' gun role.
Good to see belt fed MG out in the open. The argument against belt fed MG was that mag fed LMG's handle stoppages better & are easier to recover from than belt fed ones.
Another argument was 'belt fed' machine guns make for really bad optics in COIN as it is considered a battle field weapon. SF's have used belt fed MG's liberally in the past though.
