We have a saying here: "One round, one kill".

Machineguns do provide suppressive fires for the Infantry Squad. This is for the Infantry to move forward and secure a new location for the MG.
The MG is situated to take advantage of the most open terrain and the greatest distance one can gain depending on local. MGs properly sited, fed, and nurtured will dominate that terrain unless removed by Artillery.
The Artillery is the "King of Battle" and will remain so...
Artillery can do in one salvo what a squad can not in a year. Enemy own the hilltop? Remove the top ten meters and they do not.
What is combat ineffective now for a unit? 10% 25% KIA?
