Eddo36 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 The M249 is a lightweight, individually portable machine gun capable of delivering a large volume of effective fire to support infantry squad operations. It is belt-fed, gas-operated, air cooled and fires from the open bolt position. It can be fired from the shoulder, hip, underarm, or bipod-steadied position. It'll tear through the Jedi's robes in no time. And let's see one Jedi try to deflect all 5.56mm rounds coming at him at 915 meters/sec and 725 rounds per minute with his lightsaber. Even if he does strike a metallic round with his lightsaber, wouldn't it just turn the round into a red hot molten slug that will keep coming at the Jedi without altering the same velocity a whole lot? Specs- Primary function: Hand-held combat machine gunManufacturer: Fabrique Nationale Manufacturing, Inc. Length: 40.87 inches (103.81 centimeters) Weight: With bipod and tools: 15.16 pounds (6.88 kilograms) 200-round box magazine: 6.92 pounds (3.14 kilograms) 30-round magazine: 1.07 pounds (.49 kilograms) Bore diameter: 5.56mm (.233 inches) Maximum effective range: 3281 feet (1000 meters) for an area target Maximum range: 2.23 miles (3.6 kilometers) Rates of fire: Cyclic: 725 rounds per minute Sustained: 85 rounds per minute Unit Replacement Cost: $4,087 Features: The Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge. AMMUNITION The preferred combat ammunition mix for the M249 is a four-ball (M855) and one-tracer (M856) mix. There are other variations of 5.56-mm ammunition available; however, the four-and-one mix allows the gunner to use the tracer-on-target (TOT) method of adjusting fire to achieve target kill. Type Use M855 Ball Against light materiel targets and personnel. M193 Ball Range training. M856 Tracer Observation of fire, incendiary effects, and signaling. M196 Tracer Training. M199 Dummy During mechanical training. M200 Blank During training when simulated live fire is desired. (A blank firing attachment must be used to fire this ammunition.)

11XHooah Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 The M249 is good, but I'd rather go for the M240B. Much more powerful And you could have special commando units armed with M4's with the availability of the SOPMOD kit. War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. --John Stewart Mill-- "Victory was for those willing to fight and die. Intellectuals could theorize until they sucked their thumbs right off their hands, but in the real world, power still flowed from the barrel of a gun.....you could send in your bleeding-heart do-gooders, you could hold hands and pray and sing hootenanny songs and invoke the great gods CNN and BBC, but the only way to finally open the roads to the big-eyed babies was to show up with more guns." --Black Hawk Down-- MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=44500195 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChAiNz.2da Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 No offense man, but if I wanted RL guns... I'd play Call of Duty...or the other countless war games out there...
