Squad assault weapon/automatic rifle and sniper/marksman rifles
While some machine guns like the M249 SAW have over time been individually used in infantry crew-served weapons, modern ones are classified as crew-served only and normally used as such. The same is true for sniper rifles. In both cases, some have been used as the reverse of official classifications, and for many, there is no historical classification.
Anti-tank/assault
Some of these are crew-served.
