I did my job that Insurgent was putting out a IED That would of surely killed more then 1 american life. It was stupid of me to even add that. The m249 saw is 5.56mm is are sqaud automatic weapon. because of its size and weight its more ideal for urban fighting when dismounted. The M240B is 7.62 has more penatration and a longer range, Its also very acurate. Part of qualifying with it is hitting man size targets at 800 meters using iron sights. Thats just off the bipod. With the new light weight tripod and the m145 optic its possible to engage point targets past 1200 meters. There is also the M240C used in the m1 abrams and m2 bradly as a coax machine gun. same weapon diffrent feed direction. I heard from a buddy who was on a abrams in faluja that you could use the thermal sights and 240 to engage targets past 800meters and hit with single rounds. Dont know if its true or not. kind of like a tank sniper
