Country: | No, I wasn't. Normally I pick up on these things, but I've been under the weather, so sorry if I was insulting in any way, cause it wasn't meant as such. If you'll excuse me, I must now mope around about my mistake, cause insults are never good, and now I feel angry cause I made an insulting mistake. | |

Country: | The M-240H is just a M-240 that has been modified for use from an aircraft with a butterfly grip like on the M-60D.
The M-240H is a 7.62 Gas-operated, open bolt machine gun. It can fire up to 950 rounds a minute but atleast in the Door Gunner training program we fire only up 200 rounds a minute. The weapon weighs in at 27lb approx.
The great thing about the M-240H is if our aircrat goes down we can convert the M-240H quickly into an infantry version for easier aiming and fireing from the ground. We could not do with that the old M-60Ds that we had.
Versions of the M-240:
M-240: coaxial version developed for the M-1 Abrams tank.
M-240E-1 & D: pintle mount version
M-240G: Infantry version used by the USMC
M-240B: Infantry version used by the US Army. Includes Recoil Buffer and Heat guard.
M-240H: Door gunner version for Aircraft. Improved and developed in development since 2000.

240D is the coax for M-60/M-1/M-2/3. M240 is based on the FN MAG which has been around since the late 50's and was a contender in the Weapons Boards that selected the M60. Sadly we picked the BUORD POS that foisted the M60 on us. By the way, the MAG is derived from the Browning Automatic Rifle in which the action was used as the basis so it goes back a little bit farther then 2000.  | |

Les is like Obi Wan in Episode I when chasing the changling into the bar and the guy offers to sell Obi Wan death sticks. Les, I mean Obi Wan, then performs Jedi magic and makes the drug dealer "rethink his life".
Now that's power to be reckoned with.

you guessed it Pintle Mounts!
We used them on our Blackhawks (well my unit did not because we still used the M-60D until this month, but other units that I worked with) until they came out with the improved pintle mount version the M-240H.

Country: | As for the M-60, I loved it. It never broke, quit, or jammed on me the whole 14 months that I was in Iraq, and I was accurate as hell with it. Could hit anything I had to flying at 150 knots, 50ft over the ground.
