	== ~~Configuration~~ ==		== Information ==
	* Gas-~~operated~~, ~~rotating bolt~~		The '''LMG-25''' was developed as a mobile sustained-fire weapon, intended to provide a balance between portability and long-duration firing capability. At the time of its introduction, the system was considered advanced, offering significantly improved mobility compared to traditional heavy machine guns while retaining the ability to deliver sustained automatic fire.
	* Fire Mode: Full-~~auto only~~
	* Belt-fed system
	* Quick-change barrel

	* Mounts:		To achieve this, the weapon incorporates a '''heavier quick-change barrel''', allowing crews to maintain extended firing periods without excessive overheating. It utilizes a '''belt-fed system with disintegrating links''', improving ammunition handling and reducing bulk compared to earlier feed systems.
	** Bipod (emergency use)
	** Tripod (primary)

	----		The LMG-25 is capable of operating from both '''bipod''' and '''tripod configurations'''. While the bipod allows for limited rapid deployment, the weapon is primarily intended for '''tripod-supported fire''', where its stability and sustained-fire capability can be fully utilized.

	~~== Role ==~~		At the time of its adoption, the LMG-25 represented a state-of-the-art solution for platoon-level fire support. However, its design reflects the engineering priorities of its era, emphasizing durability and sustained fire over modern mobility and modularity.
	~~The~~ LMG-25 ~~serves as~~ a platoon-level ~~heavy weapon~~, ~~providing~~ sustained ~~suppressive~~ fire and ~~area denial. It is not a squad automatic weapon~~.

	~~----~~

	~~== Doctrine ==~~
	* Primary use from tripod for stability and accuracy
	* Bipod used only for emergency or rapid repositioning
	* Designed for sustained fire, not maneuver fire

			To maintain compatibility with evolving Gondaran systems, the weapon has received limited modernization, most notably the addition of an interface allowing it to mount to the '''Universal MG Mount (UMGM)'''. This adaptation extends its service life by enabling integration with vehicle platforms and standardized mounting systems.
