Fully automatic weapons are generally categorized as [[submachine guns]], machine guns, or [[autocannons]]. Submachine guns are hand-held automatic weapons for personal defense or short-range combat firing pistol-caliber rounds. A machine gun is often portable to a certain degree, but is generally used when attached to a mount, is part of a heavy vehicle, or is fired from the ground on a bipod or tripod, and generally fires a rifle or small cannon cartridge and is capable of sustained fire. Light machine guns are small enough to be fired hand-held, but are more effective when fired from a prone position. The difference between machine guns and autocannons more or less size and whether the gun fires conventional bullets or explosive rounds. Guns firing large-caliber explosive rounds are generally considered either autocannons or [[automatic grenade launchers]] ("grenade machine guns"), though it should be noted that there is no clear dividing line between what is an autocannon and what is a machine gun.
