My question is, is there a need for sustained fire compact and light 7.62x51 machineguns amongst small teams?

This is mission specific and most teams with exotic requirements can get what weapon systems they need when they need them. There is an overabunance of systems and dealers out there to more than meet the need. If there is a need for a particular system someone will define the requirement. I don't want to sound harsh, but I have had my fill of folks during portions of my career looking to provide the military with another good idea without fully understanding all the ramifications that go along with what happens when some "technological advance" has been found so it must be important to "develop a mission" to enable the use of this "great advance". So to answer your question, yes, no, maybe.
