M249 gun is best gun. Prove me wrong.

>>32641964
Buy it, fuck ammo box

>>32641964
>. Prove me wrong
It weighs twice what it should.

You sound like the target demographic of the M249S.

>>32641973
I would if I could. Sadly my armorer wouldn't sell it to me.

>>32641984
Seems pretty manageable to me.

>>32641988
>semi-auto machine gun
I'd rather cut my dick off then fire this gun one round at a time

>>32641984

How could it possibly be 50% lighter?

>>32641984
Either a retard or an IAR fag (so another retard).

It uses 5.56... I love the belt-feeding thing, but it's rather expensive for 5.56, especially when you can get a light, inexpensive AR 15.

It's a beautiful gun, but if it's not gonna spray bullets like it's automatic version, what's the point?

It requires constant cleaning and maintenance to keep operational, far higher than any other comparable weapon in the LMG designation.
Open bolt means it fucking loves to accumulate shit in it that needs cleaned out. Also the risk of cooking off if you get too trigger happy.
It's got a crapload of little nooks and crannies that accumulate carbon and other shit that are difficult to reach in a field strip without special tools but nonetheless need to be constantly cleaned.
5.56 out of an LMG is wholly underwhelming.
The 240 is a better weapon than it in literally every way except weight.

If you're getting a persistent warboner from a 249, you are going to fucking cream yourself if you ever get your greasy mitts on a Ma Deuce.

hahahahahaha little man thinks his 249 is best.

little man has little trigger time compared to me.

i not only carried mighty 240B for countless miles, but fired untold rounds from its glorious boolit hole.

240B is superior in every way, 249 is jammomatic AR-15 on crack.

hahahaha sorry, only real men can of the handling.

You haven't had to march with it for 8 hours.

>>32642017
Would probably need an entire redisign to accomplish it but for being an LMG, the thing weighs a fucking ton.

I guess. I have nothing to compare it to.
>Also the risk of cooking off if you get too trigger happy.
That barrel was white hot. I was told it could happen but today nothing.
>The 240 is a better weapon than it in literally every way except weight.
I shot that today too. It was mounted on an LMTV though. Not nearly as bonerific.
>you are going to fucking cream yourself if you ever get your greasy mitts on a Ma Deuce
I get to next week. I can't wait.

>>32642069
I fired that today too but sadly it was mounted on an LMTV. Kinda took the fun out of it.

If the only ones you are familiar with are the used up specimens in US service, sure.

>Open bolt means it fucking loves to accumulate shit in it that needs cleaned out.
Open bolt is extremely desirable on a weapon that is going to be firing a lot in full-auto, your precious M240B is open bolt.

>Also the risk of cooking off if you get too trigger happy.
The exact opposite you fucking mouth breather, open bolt means there is no cartridge in the chamber except when it fires, cookoff literally can't happen, because there is no cartridge to cook in the chamber.
Also you have spare barrels.

>It's got a crapload of little nooks and crannies that accumulate carbon and other shit that are difficult to reach in a field strip without special tools but nonetheless need to be constantly cleaned.
Aside from maybe the delinker, not especially.

>5.56 out of an LMG is wholly underwhelming.
But it gives volume and is simple to maneuver.

>The 240 is a better weapon than it in literally every way except weight.
The M240B is a GPMG and isn't meant to fill the role of a SAW
They would be terrible at each other's job.

>>32642044
Does it jam? Mine had a jam or two when I was trying to single shot it.

There is always hope /k/omrade.

>>32642140
The full-auto open-bolt version and semi-auto closed-bolt version behave pretty differently.

I'll hazard a guess that a gun designed as a closed-bolt weapon will have no issues firing semi-automatically, it'd be pretty embarrassing if it did.

>>32642263
apparently the semi-auto M249 is close enough to the auto one they can be converted by dropping in the select-fire parts, or so the rumor was from the Nevada/Arizona full auto range guys

>>32641964
i had this thing in the military
yes i love it
yes i destroied my pants because my boner just ripped them apart
yes if you have never shot one of these your life isnt worth lifing

but is it the best gon? HELL NO
the gun, spear barrle, and ammo weight a fucking ton and you may have failures

Why hasn't anyone called OP's pic out for being airshit?

>>32642284
I'll hazard a guess that this is complete bullshit given how the FCG and action is pretty different.

And of course the dimensions, and ATF opinion.

>>32642503
Because he already came off as a newb so it doesn't seem important.

Besides, he never claimed it was the gun in question and he probably just grabbed something off Google.

>>32641964
>5.56
Try the full size FN MAG in Real Fucking Nato and get back to me.

>>32641964
>open bolt

>>32642622
Yes, most (good) squad automatic weapons and general purpose machineguns fire from an open bolt position.
