    How does this tactic work when counting for light machine guns?

    specifically a SAW or 240B. Which as I understand is the largest enemy casualty producing weapon carried by a U.S. army member.

    I don’t know if it really counts as suppressive fire or just overwhelming fire power at that point

      Those are more of an area denial weapon. Less “suppressing fire” and more “oppressing fire”
