Couple pics of our machine gun shoots, featuring two of my favorite pieces of gear in the military, the "Mah-Deuce"  (M2 fifty cal machine gun) and the 240G  (7.62mm machine gun).  I took 1,782 pictures during this past op, so I will be contributing generously over the next few weeks, but I promise not to spam!!

240G (two forty golf)


7.62mm belt rounds for the 240G


A Marine sighting in with the 240G


Marine sighting in with the 50 cal


Fire!!!


My baby

Looks like fun. In a previous life during field deployments, I was always stuffed with carrying about the GPMG (also 7.62). The difference being, the only time I fired it was once a year, 20 rounds to maintain qualification. On deployment, during attack, we just yelled "Banana, banana" to simulate a burst . We only got 10 blanks issued and I was not cleaning the dam thing for that Unfortunately the UK armed forces have always been a bit strapped for cash.

Love the perspective in picture two though.

Haha I know what you are talking about, we usually don't get rounds either, we run around yelling "Bada Bada JAM, Bada Bada JAM"  to simulate a burst, but a few times a year we get to go out to the ranges and shoot some rounds, the US Marine Corps isnt exactly a rich organization either, usually the Navy gets all our money...

Happiness is a Belt-Fed Weapon...

I think that rather depends on which end of said weapon one is facing!

Sweet!!!
