The M53 GPMG is a Yugoslavian short-recoil gas assisted automatic general purpose machine-gun designed to be used as either a light machine-gun fired from a bipod or in sustained fire mode from a tripod. The M53 GPMG is chambered for the 7.92 mm x 57 cartridge which it takes from a 50-round drum magazine or belt feed and fires with a cyclic rate of between 800 and 1050 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 715 meters per second to an effective range of 800 meters from a bipod and 1000 meters when fired from a tripod. The M53 GPMG is air cooled and has a 560 mm long quick change barrel and is fitted with a barleycorn foresight and a tangent notch rearsight.
