Light Machine Guns
FN Browning BAR
Very early in the 1930s the Chilean Army acquired through somewhat circuitous means Belgian-made copies of the Browning BAR, chambered for 7x57mm Mauser rather than .30/06. (Fabrique Nationale was prohibited from exporting to South America due to its license agreements.) Some versions also have a pistol grip (as per the Browning wz 28). These weapons were heavily used during the Andean War and by 1940 were completely withdrawn from service in favor of the general purpose belt-fed MG37.

- Overall length: 1,194 mm
- Barrel length: 610 mm

The Bolo Thirty medium machine gun was first provided by Atlantis during the Andean War. Although partially replaced by the MG37 GPMG, the Bolo Thirty remains in use, primarily on vehicle ring-mounts.

General Purpose Machine Guns

- Action: Recoil-operated/short-recoil operation
- Overall length: 1250 mm
