Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

History
The MG4 is a light machine gun and complements the MG3 at the infantry group level of the Bundeswehr. It was developed by Heckler & Koch as part of the IdZ program (Infantryman of the Future). Because the weapon weighs less than the MG3, infantry groups can use two fully armed machine gunners instead of one machine gunner (MG 1) and one machine gun squad leader or observer (MG 2).
