If you ask me, we need to replace the 5.56mm M249 SAW with something in 7.62mm!

No ones asking you faggot.
>>34764750
Why. The point of a SAW is to provide suppressive fire. 5.56 allows for more bullets for the same weight. 7.62 is in the MMG category
Sounds like bait, but that's why the platoon carries gpmgs. Replacing the LMG/SAW with a full size General purpose machine gun is dumb and a step backwards.

OK, Donald
>>34764750
>probably bait
NIGGGAAAA WATCHU TALKIN BOUT, WHAT DIS IS?
>>34764750
We have it already... it's called a 240. Get with the program
wat is mk48?
>>34764773
fpbp
>>34764750
Is something wrong with the 240?
>>34764750
Good thing nobody asks you, clownshoes.
>>34764750
Too heavy. The whole point of the M249 is that they are "manuevarable", that's why there are 6 in a platoon. 7.62 adds you quickly weight wise, that's why 240 gunners work in gun teams, but SAW gunners are generally self contained
>>34764750
no..no we don't.
but i would be very interested to see a belt fed 6.5 or 6.8.
or even more interesting, a belt fed machine gun that utilizing high velocity ammunition, like .204 ruger

>6.5 or 6.8.
I bet you also believe that 556 doesnt hurt people or put muzzies and floppies down fast enough when they are chewing khat.

*be terrorist*
*hide behind a sheet of corrugated aluminium*
*United States Army Infantry Private with his M249 Squad Automatic Weapon fires at my cover*
*the 5.56mm bullets shred to pieces on the cover and do nothing to me*

M855 has no issues with corrugated aluminum, so that would be G.I Joe having the last laugh as Achmed's lungs full with blood.
