When i was a 240 gunner, i carried about 550 rounds on me. I took the army issued buttpack(it's part of the riflemans kit), taped 3 7.62 boxes together, and used that to hold my rounds more organized. Eventually, I made a kydex box for it, and it was lined with neoprene, so the rounds didn't rattle, but that held 300 rounds. Initially, i molled that directly to the rear of my kit, but i found an alice frame with the straps, and i had it on there as a dedicated ammo bag. I also had 100 rounds on my iotv, and another 100 on my belt. Eventually, i just threw all 200 rounds on my belt and made suspenders for my belt set up. We didnt have those nutsucks for our gun teams, so yes, i did have my 50-round starter belt wrapped around my gun. The act of having to unwrap your rounds before firing may seem outlandish, but when you have to set your conditions, by deploying your bipod and undoing your sling, and eventually linking into tripod, its really such a small step its almost negligable. My advice for all machine gunners...stop trying to abandon your barrel bag, it is your friend.

That's just good advice in general. You're not allowed to carry cameras on deployment and it's also easy to forget to take pictures even if you do have one. Taking more pictures, especially with friends helps you remember and also is proof that you were somewhere at some time. Especially now that everyone has cellphones. When I was in the Army, I wasn't even allowed to carry a cell phone either or else risk getting in trouble for it.

Dude, I was an 0331 for 5 years in a line company. We did competitions for accuracy and I'm telling you the thing was an open bolt fully automatic sniper rifle. I could repeatedly make headshots on man sized steel at 600 off the bipod and made several headshots at 800. This is while single loading one round at a time onto the feed tray, not firing a burst obviously. This was with a Bravo model so I can't speak to the Lima or the modified model being run here, but I agree with John in that the foregrip doesn't make sense and that the OG bipod is king.

Can't prove it but if it is indeed an operation We are dealing with operators that will murder to keep it hidden

Us Brits used to call our version the 'Jimpy' back in the day, it was still used at the section or squad level for the 1st 6 years of my service, we always appreciated how effective it could do the business as not much was small enough to hide from it, not even in a building... my favourite bit was every other mucker in the section cleaned a piece of it... :P We were taught a very slick quick and fool proof way to load these things with the flick of the wrist back in the day, but I dont want to ramble too much BTW there were no optics or lasers back then for us Brit grunts, but tracers were still effective in 'full fun mode!'

Knox the Active officer who drew the guns did not draw spare barrels lubricant or any of the other goodies we needed on the line of tracks. I had my own gage set and a case extractor which during day fire I had to remove a case from a gun the officer had tampered with a beat-up gage allowing way too much headspace. Night fire was hell 4 totally shot out barrels with tracers hitting the ground 15 feet in front of the Tracks. The receivers were glowing orange at the front. We had two active-duty NCOs injured trying to clear way over heated M60s one took a case into his throat the second took one in his forearm. My reserve unit had three Paramedics on the line that night who took care of the two. I believe the officer was relieved of his command at around 2 am as we were clearing the range. We never saw him again.

Awesome seeing the 240 getting some love. A topic that was neglected was the barrel changing. We used to train that with the AG blindfolded (your gun team TL in the big army). Barrel changes can be critical. Loved the tid bit about the sling clip. Such an easy detail to forget - unclip 100m out from offense.

I tried to go see one in Las Vegas, but I couldn't get the concert tickets in time😢

We didnt have ammo bearers on our gun teams because we were mechanized. So the gunner would carry the gun and a 100 round starter belt. The AG, however, carried about 1000 rounds which weighed 70lbs. (each 100 rnd belt weighed 7lbs), the tripod, spare barrel, usually thermals, their M4 and combat load. And that is exactly why my back is fucked.

Videos like this and others that do these distance and penetration tests are the tl;dr of military training. There’s SO MUCH valuable information to be learned from watching Mike shoot a cement wall.

Side note for you reloaders re the Ohio Ordnance semi auto fires from a closed but unlocked bolt so the primer pockets expand beyond usability after the first reload. So feed it new ammo only and the use the brass for your bolt gun loads. Also U.S. Optics makes a 3-12 short enough to allow proper feed tray cover operation and the semi auto rate of fire I’ve held 3.5 MOA at 600 meters

Operated one for four years. Line company. It’s such a great platform!

We used The M240 Bravo in the Army I was Infantry Had it mounted on most our gun trucks In Iraq was always a good solid weapon never really had issues Like we did with the m249 and even our worn out M16A4s we were still using had lot's of problems The 240 was solid But got pretty heavy if you had to carry dismounted for long periods of time I think it was partly responsibil for giving me a hernia and back issues

Thank you gentlemen for an extremely interesting and very informative video. Respect to John for sharing his knowledge.

I’m so glad Charlie is back. His delivery is always great

Carried one in Afghanistan in 2010, still my favorite weapon.

THIS IS MY MOST FAV MG IN BOTH IRL AND VIDEO GAMES! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! YOU ARE A HANDSOME MAN WITH AN AMAZING HAIRLINE!

Thanks for the lesson! I was an M60 gunner in Reagan's Army. We had 1 per squad and 2 M249's per squad. Never had any of the problems with that system that folks like to complain about. It had its own hacks that were a bit different than the M240 hacks you all showed.

Was a machine gunner on the MG3, also work with the MG5. Best job I have ever had.

Were you in the Bundeswehr? Isn't the mg3 basically a 7.62 nato mg42?

Катя, кошка, same difference if you know her 😂

maaan, the lighting on that clip ~13:37 was incredible. great footage.

Really enjoying this series, these past two episodes are amazing.

Carried the British version the GPMG in the 1st Gulf War, awesome piece of kit, heavy but incredibly reliable and effective.

Really enjoy having John on. Seems like a good dude.

I used the 240B so much on deployment. This thing is my baby. Love it.

John is awesome and clearly knows his shit. Thank you for having him on another amazing video!!!

I have a buddy who carried the 240B for 8 years. He said there's no way Paddock had a bunch of bump stock ARs.

@M240D Real. We'll never know the truth.

Great reference from Las Vegas 🚩

The M240 is such a dope weapon. I only really use the Hotel config especially since im a door gunner, but because of it, I have hella respect for the guys who have to carry that Beavy Hitch around

One of my best days on deployment was when EOD needed a guy from our engineer Co to be their golf and I got to do it. They had a barret and a 240G, I went with the 240G and was blessed with a few shooting opportunities that day. Not sure why you would want a can on one though.

Carried the C6 GPMG in Trashcanistan. Also jumped it a few times, and had it as a Coax in the LAV III and mounted on the turret. My favorite to shoot, not carry. 26-ish LBS unloaded, then carrying 440 rounds of linked 7.62x51. Plus a PEQ 2A and a Thermal on the feed tray.

Charlie was on point with this one, lol.

This is an awesome video Flannel Father. I love to the car testing. I’d love to see something similar down the road, maybe even a little re-creation of the Bonnie and Clyde ambush?

John’s great. Hope to see more of him on the channel.

I really appreciate learning how to use something I'll never see or come across under any circumstance

This is better than 99.9% of the junk on TV

Was hoping for a Vegas mention and Charles did not disappoint.

The M240B was my mounted weapon of choice over the .50 CAL when I was deployed. I would take my loader's M240 and use the M240B conversion kit that each tank had and would use that M240 for when our section ( i was the PSG's gunner) rotated with Alpha section. most of the deployments we ran 4 tanks, however later in the deployments we did 2/2 combination (2 tanks/2 HMMWV M1165's). I sure do miss being on the tank and definitely shooting the PIG when I was in. Max effective range/Tracer burnout of the M240 is 900M. Max range of the M240B: 1800M. Yeah, its still embedded in my brain when it came to the M240 as our tank carried 2 of them. Hell, I even used an AN/PAS-13 thermal sight on it on two of my four deployments.

Was really expecting the intro to end by panning over to the targets in a different vehicle beside the one that got shot up, missed opportunity boys 😂 great stuff as always!!

I was an Army Mortarman 2011-2015. Our platoon had 4 squads. Each squad had a 240B. But we didn’t have a designated gunner. Everyone had a m4 and everyone in the squad kinda took turns with it. Loved that thing

Absolutely love seeing the M240B in action! Solid breakdown of techniques for utilizing cover effectively

Fuckin Charlie. Always sprinting right across that line immediately. Gotta love it.

When I did my Section Commander Battle Course (British Army) in 2010, the receiver on the GPMG was dated 1973, over a 3 month course, didn’t have single issue with it. Absolute work horse.

Reasons for stoppages on the M240, HELMDD - H = Hard Extraction, E = Expended Link, L = Live Round, partly fed, M = Misfired Round, D = Damaged Round, D = Damaged Link.

As a teen who has had the opportunity to fire a pneumatic simulation m240, I felt like a damn badass

Every episode with Charlie is automatically twice as good

Take more pictures with your friends!! That’s great advice!

It definitely does that! Especially with M80A1

Carried a 240L for about a year and a half. Love it. You can beat it up and it just runs

I love that Dad advice! It's something i regret not doing, and something i would tell my own son

That music with the slo mo 308 wall pen. What a cut. 😱👌🏻

That wall getting chewed up with the dummy behind it was probably one of the most cinematic shots I’ve seen on this channel. Beautiful.
