Well I guess you could always shoot through the sand berm.....

Had an M-60 for a few months on my C-7 until we switched over to the M-240.

Wow I didn't know the US military still used M60s

Also, I was surprised to recently find out that they still use the FN MAG, or M240, as you call it, too.

They slowed down the rate of fire to 480 rounds per miniute. The M240B fires 650RPM at its lowest setting and can fire 900RPM on the highest. The only units that have m60's are national guard and most of them get turned in for 240'S if they deploy. The 240 is still a much more reliable weapon then the m60. What do you mean you were surprised we still used 240's its one of the most advanced machine guns on the market. The new airborne model has a collasible stock, shorter barrel, and can be drum fed its the ****.

How does it feel to be a killer?

I thought the M240 were replaced by the Minimi M249.
