The Russians learned that belt fed is the way to go
I only did footwork if on another person's route
Or another office route
The PKM is a section level weapon
So is the RPK, mind
But now the marines will just have the 240B’s at the platoon level
Right?
Probably
Or do Yankees carry 240’s at the section level
I am out and do not care
That’s fucking retarded lmao
“Belt feds at platoon level only”
And then you aren’t allowed to bring your own drum mags
I originally saw the m27 iar as a DMR that could dump and supress
Now it is replacing some shit like saws
And I hear people fight over the saw and the 240
By I viewed them as innterchangable depending on the Op and command
I know that ain't true
But the way Marines bitch would have you think so
Basically one is a whore and will work if you feed her
lets be real, the murheens just used the M27 as an excuse to get new HK rifles
you can’t suppress with a 30 round mag fed
Out of my depth I was pog
Yeah it is just a new dmr with some gimmicks
Right after we finally had gotten m4s
Which is replacing the section’s firepower
After the entire god damn war
All the section’s firepower is that fucking SAW
I dunno. A gunner is a gunner is a gunner
0351
And now it’s gone for a slightly heavier rifle that’s slightly more accurate shooting the same cartridge with the same capacity
They carry what they get assigned
It isn't split by weapon magically
It is making due with what they have
A dog’s-breakfast of an article at Marine Corps Times suggests that the Marines are considering issuing the M27 IAR, now issued to squad automatic riflemen, for issue to all riflemen — not all Marines, in the sense of “every Marine is a rifleman,” but to MOS 0311 Riflemen
That second article is spot on
It's just a god damn m16A1 modernized
We went burst fire under the logic Marines can't hit shit on full auto and waste ammo in Nam
