I want to see how well these replacement weapons run when they have as many rounds through them as the M249s do.
I had eight M-60s in my Scout Platoon. Most were usually in maintenance and those that were not were fine examples of the world's heaviest single shot 7.62 rifle. The M240 is a vast improvement, if slightly heavier, and the MG3 would have been a better substitute as well, if politically acceptable.
