Post; m249 SAW with short barrel

Duty Honor Country · January 3rd, 2005

I know SF has had this baby for a few years, but it is finally getting to the active duty infantry. Right before my unit when on leave for Christmas, Santa gave all the SAW gunners a short barrel to help them clear out enemy in rooms and buildings. Israel has the minimi para (shown below) which seems to be the same thing as the M249 with short barrel. The minimi para has a range of 800 meters with up to 1000 rounds per minute.

I'm just keeping you all up to date on what the US infantry has now adays.
