To be honest, for speed of movement in and especially out of firing positions (which with a GPMG, are going to be prone) whilst on the attack, the carrying handle is actually better than carrying it in a conventional fashion. Grab gun, run to next position, gun down, you go down behind it, then when you get up you just grab it by the handle and leg it forward again. That's how we used it in the light role, and is how it's supposed to be done on the annual weapons assessment for GPMG when advancing and withdrawing. SF role is a different matter.
Seemed to work at the time.
