The Norma 338 seems like a good choice.
Much better ballistics than the M240/7.62x51
Much lighter package than the M2/50cal,, @20lbs
AND it comes Suppressed?
But,, will the recoiling barrel be a maintenance issue?
Quote:
The SIG SAUER MG 338 machine gun is a belt-fed, lightweight medium machine gun weighing under 20lbs., chambered in 338 Norma Mag. The MG 338 features a short-stroke gas piston system and a proprietary recoil mitigation system, with a free-floating, quick-change barrel, ambidextrous controls, switchable feed tray, charging handle that can be alternated to either side depending on operator preference, and as a modern, multi-caliber, modular system the new SIG MG 338 is easily convertible to 7.62x51cal.
