i dont get an M16 :-(
i got this instead....
Its the M-249 aka the "saw" (squad automatic weapon). Its the armys light-duty machine gun. It is a belt-fed, 5.56mm, fully automatic weapon. I will be getting qualified with it and this is what i will be carrying in Iraq. sick huh? haha

Unlike the one we trained on in basic, this one has the short barrel and collaspable butt-stock. It also has the rail system for attaching all type of sights. Carrying this around is just complete sex.. haha

yes the 240 replaced the M60. the M-240B is now the armys medium duty machine gun. it shoots 7.62x39R rounds.
then the heavy duty machine gun is the M2... the .50 cal

my m16 got pretty heavy after living with the damn thing for 6 months as a Marine Corps computer geek, i don't envy you having to lug that thing around. Otherwise though, damn sexy piece of hardware.

Yeah I was gonna say why does it have a CAR stock on it. They invented unique stock for that gun to be more efficient with how heavy it is or something like that.
I know cause I have a traditional SAW stock on my paintball gun 
PS: That makes me an expert
PSPS: Sweet gun.

Now that everyone is ready to have sex with it, lemme step on all the nutsacks in the room.
The M-249 draws more enemy fire than any other weapon out there. Duck... a lot, Paul.
The M-249 will feel like it weighs a ton after the first 2 hours of a patrol. When you complete your first 72 hours of street duty you'll want to trade it in for an M-16 or M-4. In basic, yer gung-ho with it. In combat, it just adds to all the weight you'll be carrying.
I hope they give you a box for the belt, because swinging belts will snag on everything.
Your A-gunner will have your extra ammo... and be on the other side of the street in a firefight when you need him. Everyone else will have all the ammo they need.
Carry 2 extra 30 round magazines, just in case.
The M-249 doesn't clean as easy as the M-16, and yer gonna be in the desert.
Ask the armorer to remove the carrying handle. Trying to go around a doorway and having that f#$@! thing catch on the doorjam will ruin your day. And put an M-60 sling on it. Bigger padding means less pain on the shoulder. You'll have your vest, but better distribution of weight is always good.
Good luck man!

yea, ive heard all about the weight and getting tired of hauling it around. the SGTs in my platoon were in afganistan until this past summer. ill learn to deal with it, but for the most part the 249 will only really be a backup weapon for the .50 cals. We drive, thats what we're being sent there to do. clearing buildings is not our job and our first sgt maintains that it will never be.
