    M240 medium machine gun

    The sustained rate of fire is:
    100 rounds per minute
    6-8 round burst
    4-5 second pause
    Barrel change every ten Minutes. An easy way to remember I fire sustained is to squeeze the trigger and say,"die mother fucker die" and letting go.

    And I thought there was a new rule against pointless spam... so what, who cares? You fired a gun, big deal... does it compensate for something found somewhere between your legs?

    Re: M240 medium machine gun

    100 rpm? that's extremely poor for a weapon system in such high standing. Also isn't the marine issue 'machine gun' the m249 NOT the m240?

    And barrel change? please explain, us brits have no idea what you're talking about. And a 4 second pause between 6-8 round burst, that sounds like suicide or sitting duck to me.

    EDIT: Just seen it, you bullshit, it's between 600-900 rpm, i knew it was bollocks, nice try. Also sounds to me like your getting the barrel confused with the magazine, because removing the barrel of any weapon system requires you to dismantle the whole thing. And even then, a magazine (yes, even an m240/9 mag) would not last 10 mins with constant use. NO marine would ever get a barrel confused with a magazine.

    No, with most machine guns you do have to replace the barrel regularly to prevent the barrel from overheating and warping or wearing out the bore. The weapon will often have a quick-release feature so this can be done swiftly. The rate of fire in the OP refers to how many rounds you can fire off safely (in sustained mode) without risking damage to the gun, not the actual physical limit. This ain't no airsoft tings, actually firing 600 rounds in a minute would be extremely dangerous for the person firing the gun.

    Also, I fully agree with Daedius.

    Well first off the Cyclic rate of fire is 600-900rpm, but the Rapid rate of fire is indeed 100 rpm.

    Secondly, you'd only need to change the barrel if you where firing constantly, otherwise it would melt. Most likely their told to swap it because of sand and jamming problems. Not sure on that one though.

    Lastly, they are in fact told to say, "Die mother fucker die" because when firing a machine gun without a bi pods the barrel raises up at a fast rate. Using short bursts keeps the barrel down, and increases accuracy.

    I think it's called a muzzle break, and it's used to reduce the recoil.

    We don't have ant clever acronyms for the air force. We have the chair force and the faggot force. But no acronyms. I must correct you on your statement though. We may be a part of the navy we get mich better combat traning. You won't have to worry about that. God forbid I am with someone in the air force out in the field. They would bitch non stop

    Well ,the fact you're posting the statistics of it, and "I'm a marine, crazy"... one would think otherwise...

    So yeah, I'd say you were glorifying it.

    But I needn't bother - you'd probably be one of them NRA morons. I'd get better feedback off a brick wall.

    Even if people are 'glorifying' weapons, who cares? It's their choice. We have to listen to people glorifying plenty of other things, sure those things don't kill, but seriously I don't think anyone genuinely gives a shit, it's not human nature, people are just looking for an arguement, let them have it, we'll all get bored eventually.
