For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Yeah, the M60 did jam quite a bit if you didn't keep it greased like a hog.The M249 uses a 5.56mm round instead of the M60's 7.62 round but it does have a higher rate of fire whle the M240B is the direct replacement for the M60. In typical military style the M240B was supposed to be a lighter weight and more reliable version of the M60 however it ended up being heavier if slightly more reliable.
Actually I like the old FN MAG (it's original name) - used by the Brits as the GPMG, although gradually being replaced by the M249 (which is ALSO a Belgian weapon)...
... who says the Belgians aren't militant?Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

Well, what do you expect for a Belgian weapon?

I'm sure some of it was there but the Iraqis mainly had Russian, Hungarian, or Libyan made AK-47s with either Italian made Berretas, American Browning .45 M1911 pistols, or Iraqi made single action Tariq 9mm pistols. The Tariqs were not a well made fire arm nor were the Libyan AK-47 knock offs. The other stuff was off good quality.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

That I've pulled the trigger of, either a TOW1 or Carl Gustaf AT gun. IIRC the TOW is larger but the CG is a bigger/closer bang.
If I include fire that I directed (standing behind the turret), then it'd be a 120mm gun on a chieftan MBT.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

when i was 13 I attended a a summer camp that had a rifle range and i shot a .22 caliber rifle, single shot, prone at targets.
Never fired a gun since.
now my father, my he rest in peace, was the gunnery officer of a USN destroyer at Okinawa - dont think they had a chance to fire the 5 inch gun, but Im sure they fired the full range of AA weapons. Id have to google to check out the specs on those weapons.
to clarify - at the battle of okinawa - the AA weapons were fired in battle - I suppose they fired the 5 inch gun in training, or whatever.Last edited by lord of the mark; March 17, 2005, 15:19."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.
