a little bit, but I did forget about the belt fed provision, I havet used linked ammo since my initial training on the weapon, just the battle box I actually had to go look it up and C dub beat me to it cause I was using my SMCT or soldiers manual of common tasksjrs_diesel wrote:Sounds like we are picking nits here...

negative C dub, the m-249 saw or squad automatic weapon isn't belt fed, nor is the mp-9 or many others and they are machine guns. the m-16 or m-4 battle rifles are not machine guns they are select fire weapons machine guns aren't they are either all or nothing no single shot optionC-dub wrote:I'm not sure, but maybe they didn't want a double barrel shotgun to be classified as a machine gun. However, to further confuse you in case you weren't aware, but a machine gun is different than a fully automatic gun. A fully automatic M16 is not a machine gun. IIRC, to be a machine gun it must be belt-fed.
