A machine gun nest is a fixed position where a machine gun crew sets up their weapon. It is generally well covered and difficult to attack all while giving the machine gun crew a good arc of fire in the desired direction. The idea is to be able to deliver fire power where you want it and to be hard to take over. A good nest can be devastating to an infantry unit if they are caught up down an alley or a bottle neck position with relatively little cover
