When Im 18 I want to join the marines reserves as a machine gunner..
an mos 0331 machine gunner in the Marine Corps usually is equipped with the M240B i believe. its pretty heavy...around 28lbs, without ammunition and without the tripod....but the m240 bravo is man-portable. it fires a belt fed 7.62mm round

the m249 saw is a bullet hose, is significantly lighter than the m240, but fires the smaller 5.56mm round.
