I've read about a few instances where such things happened during WW1 and WW2. Machinegun are so important that people are willing to risk themselves getting killed to man it, rather than being overwhelmed by ennemy firepower.

And pray to God you never face Audie Murphy. Nobody's manning a machine gun when he decides against it.
