I didn't need it anymore. I went for doing long range "surveillance" work to kicking doors. That **** isn't the best room clearing weapon. And btw.......seeing civilians react to CS is histerical.

I think the Air Marshalls carry 155gr Winchester Ranger SXT .40cal. Same thing that Homeland Security uses. I wouldn't use Glasers for personal protection, that stuff won't overpenetrate walls, but wont penetrate people well enough either to damage vital organs. I have first hand knowledge that 180gr Speer GoldDots in .40cal will drop a pretty big Coyote with one shot behind the shoulders though, and leave a VERY big/messy wound.

Well he's still a moron. Not your fault though... it's pretty obvious you were given your orders straight out of basic and given some bad information along the way. The E6 probably wasn't infantry or was never assigned to the M240 or Pig.
How long did it take you to get E4? Do you have college or are they really needing E4's that badly?

It takes a little cramming into the M1950 carrying case but the M240B will fit at full length when rigging for a jump. I actually preferred jumping the M240B because you could use it as a crunch in the M1950 as you waited for hours during pre-jump, and 20minutes still green light with a good hundred+ pounds of extra weight.

Are you a 19D? If so, try and put in for CATII Sniper School when you get back. Either Benning or Camp Robinson as both teach a course for ASI now. I still know some of the instructors at the Robinson course. Not sure 19D's get the B4 ASI tagged onto their primary MOS (pretty sure they don't) but it'll at least be on record and you’ll get some good training. 19D's can get the course just as frequent (possibly more frequent) then 11B's.

on our 240 there is only one heat shield? maybe they skimpd us.
Sounds like an armorers issue. There is an upper and lower heat shield for the M240B. The lower one is more fixed and the upper one can be easily removed. Sounds like you're just missing one of them or someone temporarily removed the top to expose the barrel. They do break so it's not uncommon to see them incomplete in this respect.

the 240g is a mini version of the 249 saw. the 240golf is used by army paratroopers (airborne) and marines, their small, comopact, and uses 5.56mm rounds. the 249 is same as 240g just non-collapsable stock and longer barrel.

and that is why i bought few weapons for myself and family for home security reasons...

Nope, 240g shoots 7.62 not 5.56 and the cyclic rate is on par with the SAW.

Do the newer M249 have a fun switch?
The one I used had a selector switch on the gas tube assembly that allowed either 600rpm, or when on Turbo, ~1000 rpm.

Yes they do.

Damn that gas regulator was a ***** to clean, wasn't it?! I still have a Saw scrapper tool tucked away somewhere.
