I'm hearing that the army has a machine gun per fireteam,

>>30737436
both U.S. Army and U.S. Marine fireteams have an automatic rifleman

>>30737436
Marines don't need anything bar AR-15's to be fair.

In Iraq one marine took down entire armoured division with single burst of powerful 5.56mm cartridges.

Automatic riflemen =\=machine gun.

>Iraqi armored division

So two tin cans and a conscripted goat to drag them?

>>30737504
automatic riflemen are equipped with the M249 squad automatic weapon

>M249 squad automatic weapon

That isn't a machine gun, it isn't crew served. I'm talking about m60's.

>>30737541
M60s aren't crew-served weapons

>>30737558
And we don't use them anymore. Haven't for a while.

>>30737541
M60s aren't issued and aren't crew served

>a belt-fed automatic weapon with a 100 round box magazine doesn't count as a machine gun because it isn't crew served

>i dont know the definition of a gun

>>30737541
ARs most certainly are machineguns. The Army and Marines don't have MMGs in the rifle squad, but rather in the weapons squad.
