I’m going to have to ask you to calm down sir/ma’am. You’re obviously hysterical. Because the M249 SAW is clearly the best individual weapon ever made. You need a crew serve machine gun? SAW has your back. Need to clear a house? slap the short barrel on, a collapsible stock, and a 100-round soft drum. Accurate enough for long distance engagement but with a suppressive rate of fire that can cut a tree in half. Comes with two barrels so you can switch out when the first one starts glowing or use the second as a club. And glowing is a concern because the standard load out is 700-rounds and you can fire a hundred in about five seconds. With practice and a one point sling, you can fire those rounds while standing, or prone with the attached bi-pod. Out of ammo? Good news! The SAW is able to use borrowed M4 magazines in a pinch- although this should only be done in a pinch, because it can choke on the pathetic underpowered standard rounds used by lesser weapons. The SAW is as good as it gets when it comes to individual fire power and maneuverability.
This man had the resources and motivation to get a machine gun and chose, of all things, an M60. Over the far superior M249 SAW. Pathetic.
M249 SAW? Psssshhhhh our 7.62 lord and savior the M240 Bravo would like a word.
If i have to carry it i’ll go for the SAW. If it’s emplaced i’d go for the 240b.
