STANAG in a 249 basically renders it a straight pull bolt action lol
you can carry more belted ammo than ammo in mags in the same space
I dislike grenadier and dmr roles being shared
I think having at least one beltfed per squad would be ideal. Those mags go fast on full auto.
Whoa, almost like belt feeds are the most efficient means of storing large quantities of ammunition for an automatic weapon
6x30= 180, meaning that you loose 20 rounds every 200 round box you replace
Not like that's been common sense for over a century
Plus I think they look aesthetic
^
no, stack 6 PMAGS next to a 200rd 249 box
6 pmags are taller
So it's even less efficient
Plus, you had the a gunner carrying boxes for you too
^
everyone in the squad was carrying ammo for the SAW gunner
Literal Wehrmacht tactics
because they work
The SAW is the focus of the infantry unit
and you have to support your base of fire
Yep
With belt feds
If you're going the Wehrmacht route you might as well issue every guy an M27 and a 240 belt, keeping the effective tactics but simplifying ammo logistics since everybody else is using an M27.
Just off the top of my head though
IIRC the 240 is love-hated by anybody that uses it
I liked it more than the 249, but hated to carry it
5'8" manlet though
243?
you mean 249?
Yeah
ohh
FN designation
FN 243S para
Yeah, with that weird stock
gotcha
I don't know the difference, but we had 240G's and not the 240B's
configuration
240Bs are Army infantry config
with heat shield
Nice, never knew that
