Its strange that Bangladesh Calls it as Brigadier General in lines with America unlike their Indian and Pakistani counterparts who simply call it Brigadier.

Strange coz India/Pakistan has taken it from Brits and Bangladesh was once part of India/Pakistan and was under Brits as well.

The rank remains the same in lines with the Brits unlike Americans who put 1 star.

Is this right from 71 or was it changed in near past?

It is Pakistan's and India's choice that they want to retain the rank structures of the cursed colonial masters. It is our choice to select something considered modern in the armed forces of the world. We have our own words of command in Bangla. We wear formation shield patterns/monograms in keeping with our Islamic heritage which connect us to the Saracen armies. Gradually we are going to change more dropping all colonial connections when SA was mentally and physically enslaved by WCC (Western Christian Civilization).

A stupid question, but, I wonder how many kgs is the weight of this kind of machine gun.

But M99 is usually, rested on a stable surface while being fired.

Btw the machine gun shown in the last photo has an unusally large butt

LMGs are also fired from prone position. It is not recommended to fire an LMG when in standing position due to the high recoil. That's where assault rifles come to play.
