| So for a what if red dawn ww3 Russia or China invaded type scenario has anyone thought of how they would incorporate some sort of SAW type gunner? Guys have their cqb set up or their recce set up but nobody talks about having a guy that can lay down some base of fire. Would you make the weirdo guy who runs a piston gun be it and everyone hands him their magpul or Surefire 60 rounders? But seriously a light bipod and some drums could basically be like a m27 IAR? Or do you guys think maybe a guy lugging a AR10/scar with some x drums or magpul drums makes more sense? |

Optic is a Bushnell Elite Tactical SMRS II I picked up on sale from Europtic for about $600. Attached File |

What kind of groups are you getting out of it? ETA Looks like a 150rd SAW-MAG? Is that worth the $$? |

A friend sent me a link to this upper. I think it would be fun to try on my M16. https://www.redrighthandllc.com/product/recce-lmg/ I'd like to see a closeup of the gas tube. |

What, for drums? SAW pouches, canteen pouches, GP pouches, whatever works. 40 rounders in standard open top pouches. Theres a thread discussing this concept of an RPK type dedicated sustained fire AR, un AR Discussions, I think. Here it is: https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/AR-RPK-Build-Pictures-Ideas/118-782670/ |
