New M60 Rifle..

[Big Frank]

I would always rather have .308 to .223 any day man, what are you thinking?

That's so f****ing funny.  I've been smiling for 5 minutes.

Don't know the 240 but know the M60 a little bit.  I'll take one of these new ones for end times with 3 or 4 ammo and barrel carriers.

I couldn't resist;

ROCK-N-ROLL!!

Rambo's Rock N Roll looks good when shooting blanks.  Would like to see him on a real combat patrol out for several days and shooting that way.

Yeah, Hollywood always makes it look cool.  I was just commenting on the video of all those rounds going downrange nonstop. I would love to do that one day, as long as I don't have to pay for the ammo

Th 240B is better I think then the M60, but I honestly like the m249 better for carrying and fighting with. The M60 and M240B are better for being attached to trucks. The Special forces guys carry the 60 and 240B, for the effect of being a larger element when caught out in the bush. The m249 is more controlable thus making it, for me, more of a killer. I just about got my ear drum blown out cause of a 240 going off next to me.

Kev,

With your experience I can but give your opinion great weight, but (hey! you KNEW it was coming )  I will go with the 60, especially the lightened SP version as the automatic for my squad.

If ya want to know why, it's cause the Ma Duece is too heavy!

LOL That is true. Yeah the 60 does come in more compact package, and I understand the use for it, but mostly I would put them on top of a truck, but then you could with your 50. There are just certain aplications where they all preform better or worse.

The problem with the Ma Duece is according to Geneva Convention shooting someone with the 50 is a war crime. You can only take out their equipment, so the way to get around all that is you need to shoot at their water bottles or gun. Hence why on cnn you dont see the soldiers using 50's, their sgt changed them out before the inbed or told them not to shoot it unless they have to when the cameras are around.

We were told the same thing in the 70's So wasn't my Dad in Korea. "The .50 cal is an anti EQUIPMENT weapon"
Of course common sense points out that a UNIFORM is equipment
