I was told you couldn't shoot a person with a .50 caliber but you could shoot, for example, the truck behind them.
If they were in the line of fire... oh well.

I was watching a show on the Military Channel about the SEALS.  Not sure when it was filmed.  One guy was firing what I think was an M60.  Anybody see the show today?  If so, was it an M60 or M240.  Did some training some years ago with SEAL Team 1 from California, bad dudes.  I'd go into combat with them any day.

DM,

I saw it.  It was a special ops version of the M60 (E I think).  They cut the stocks (you know, made the part you put to your shoulder smaller ;D ) and strip em down (this is to make them lighter ;) ) as much as possible.

BTW I typed this real slow for you.



;D

How did they cut the stocks? They only stick back a fraction of an inch past the buffer. You can't shoot it without a buffer unless you want to blow it up. 

Did it look like this?

No, did not look like it.  Biggest difference being that the weapon in the show had a forend covering the barrel.  So I am wondering if the SEALS prefer the M60 over the M240, why?  An SEALS out there that can answer.  When I was on active duty we had light 30 cal machine guns, great guns but not as versatile as the M60.
