lol, thats one hell of a battle load. It must take at least one other person to help you get all bombed up. I generaly only have a C7 (M16A2 w/ 4x sight), 5-7 mags, 2 frags, 200 5.56 for the section saws. In addition I'll have either a radio or ammo for a heavy weapon, I got trained on all the CF's heavy infanty weapons so I always get put in a team. The GPMG (your M240) is a fun one to use though.

Yeah, my AG helps me get loaded up usually. He carries an M16 with seven mags and then another 1200 rounds for my SAW. It's a nice feeling to have 2000 rounds of ammunition at you disposal. The 240B is fun, but I would get broke off I had to carry that bad boy around for a long time. Mount it on a Humvee or a tower though, and I will tear some s**t up!

Yeah it sucks to carry that monster around. However once you got it set up it is so worth it. we generally have them set up in a fire support squad that has two of them on tripods, they reach out 2km and still have a ton of power, nothing compared to a 50 though...

Yep, them .50s make a ton of noise and a produce all kinds of mayhem downrange. I remember firing them during BCT, but so far I haven't touched one at my unit. I'm mechanized infantry, so we operate around M2A3 Bradleys. Have you ever witnessed a 25mm chain-gun firing?

[DeadKennedysfan]

not a 25mm chain-gun, that I must one day see. I have been around LAV 3 firing, but I'm light Infantry, I use my black Cadilacs.

I had a 25mm HE tracer fly passed me about 40 feet away and felt the shock-wave generated just by the movement of that beast. The LAV 3 is like our Stryker, right? I'm in an Armor battalion unfortunately and as such, infantry gets treated like s**t, and our equipment is always in disrepair. We do just as much walking as light infantry because our Brads are always out of commision.

I just graduated, and I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I think I want to be some type of doctor, but I'm not sure.

how did we get on the topic of guns?
