If you had a chance to shoot a machine gun, and could only choose one of the two, which would it be? M240B or M249 SAW?

M-60

Out of those two... the 240. Overall I'd pick an MG42.

I have shot both, but I like the 240 more.

240.

the SAW can be a jammomatic. And if you're going to go belt fed, might as well make it a man's belt fed. Not that i wouldn't mind a SAW in my safe....

I'd like to shoot the 240.

If I could pick any gun to shoot, I'd like to be at the controls of a Dillon Aero.

Yeah, I had a jammomatic SAW....... until I had the armorer replace the bad extractor and it NEVER jammed again.

I've fired a 249 a few times, so I'd pick a 240 for something new.

Of the 2 choices in the OP, the M240.

Fired an M2 quite a bit...never liked it much. The M60 on the other hand, was a hell of a lot of fun to shoot.

I've shot both (Sort of.)  The 240 I'm pretty sure wish a M240G with the spade grips.  It was mounted on some sort of long range post mount where you could dial in the elevation and traverse.  That kind of sucked because it was pretty much locked in and it wasn't as fun as a pintle mount where you can swing it around all over the place.



When I shot the M249, it was way more fun since it was cheaper to shoot, Had a fairly high rate of fire and I was able to prone out with it and also shoot it off-hand.  

I've shot an MG42 in a pintle that you could swing all over the place.  That was neat, but the rate of fire was so fast, that 50rounds gone in a few seconds.

If you can, try and shoot some .22lr machine guns.  Especially if they have cans.  They sound like sewing machines.  Super fun and cheap!  Also, shoot a suppressed MP5 or an integrally suppressed MP5SD.  Stay away from the MP5K, the one I shot was a jam-o-matic.

<--------------- M240B for the win.

I have humped Pigs (60's), SAW's, tripod mounted M2 HMG's, M240's, and have even hosed down on some MG42's and an MG34. I'll take the M240 out of that selection....

The FAL is the right arm of the free world, and the MAG-58 is the dick of the free world.

After all, you can only fuck someone so much with your right arm...

Out of the 2?  M-240.  One I'd like to have if I had to carry it?  MG-3 (MG-42 in 7.62x51mm).

Most fun?  Mike Dillon's dual M-134 Tilt-o-Whirl-o-Death on a quad .50 mount.

Ive shot both and I would choose the 240.  Mine was an M240G with a pistol grip though.
