The **SureFire MGX** is a light machine gun designed by [Jim Sullivan](/source/L._James_Sullivan), Bob Waterfield, Alan Ostrowski, Paul Latulippe Jr. and Hyunjung Samuel Eyssautier in 2002 and produced in prototype form only by ArmWest, LLC and marketed by [SureFire](/source/SureFire), LLC as a technology demonstrator.

## Overview

The SureFire MGX is a light machine gun featuring various elements from the many arms Sullivan designed in the past. The MGX is essentially a unified machine gun and rifle concept, similar to that of the Stoner 63 system. It is also noted to feature a very similar bolt components to the AR-15 and the various operations and quick change barrel of the Ultimax 100. The weapon fires from a closed bolt when firing semi-auto and from an open bolt when firing full-auto. The MGX features a stock that can fold both ways and can also be removed.
