- Dustmuffins, on 01/02/2008, -1/+418 diggs to the front page? Wow.
- acolonf6, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2Shot one at BCT, and AIT. The 50 cal is more fun :)
- inactive, on 01/02/2008, -1/+3Shooting a .50 caliber weapon makes me feel like a big man. There's no other way of describing it.
Feels like your shooting from a canon. - ventsi, on 01/02/2008, -1/+3850 rounds per minute
awesome - wakeborder, on 01/02/2008, -2/+3lol osama
- TheSavant, on 01/02/2008, -2/+3I had a SAW mounted on my truck along with a MK-19. My A-Driver also had a SAW. We also had a couple of AT-4's stashed in the back. I only had a M-16, but I also got to use the truck to tear into vehicles and push cars around.
The other gun truck had a .50 cal. mounted on it. We used it to cut a tree down. - z00k, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Actually it wont go the full on 850 Rounds most of the time as when you're shooting it the barrel will actually get so hot that it will most likely melt. Cant wait to shoot this at the Marine Combat Training... Going to be one hell of a time :)
Also if you're more interested in the weapon I would check out http://www.usmcweapons.com/articles/M249/M249NF.ht ... - TheSavant, on 01/03/2008, -0/+1I liked my weapons just fine. They kept my friends and myself safe while we were stuck in Iraq. Also, they are supposed to help us keep the government in line.
I don't like jackholes that use guns to commit crimes. I also don't like brainwashed folks telling me guns are bad. People are bad. Not guns. - Randrayla, on 01/08/2008, -0/+1Exactly. I have carried a handgun since I was 18 (thats legal age to carry in Indiana). I have killed exactly 0 people but I sure have felt allot safer in the ghetto. Wake up people, the police are not in place to prevent crime, they are there to arrest and document what happened.
- Clark3934, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1And they said no one needs an automatic weapon for fun.... psh.
- SiNN4R, on 01/02/2008, -1/+2She also made fun of how bad a shot he was.
- drig, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1The Gun Store is really cool. I was there about a week ago and shot an m16 and a thompson. It was sweet. There's also a ton of $5 coupons all around...
- Zorlac, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Personally, I actually hate guns. I would never own one in my own home. I live just south of the Columbine Massacre incident, which just fueled my hate for guns even more.
That being said, shooting this M249 SAW was an absolute blast. Don't knock it until you try it. It was at an indoor range, where the possibility of hurting an innocent civilian is almost an impossibility. All guns should be used in this manner, as far as I'm concerned.
On the flip side, I sure do appreciate the freedom we have in the USA because our "guns" are bigger than the rest of the world's. *****, I know, but that's the world we live in. - puba, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1"Oh you got him...right in the pocket"
- prleet, on 01/02/2008, -0/+0boring, try a automatic 50 cal...
- PCGUY112887, on 01/02/2008, -1/+118 diggs in over 17 hours and it hits the front page? Something is wrong here! It typically takes 40 or so diggs within a few minutes to get to the front quickly.
- Randrayla, on 01/02/2008, -0/+0I want one at home. To bad it would cost like $30,000....
- rockefeller2, on 01/02/2008, -2/+1Oh yeah, you guys are a bunch of pussies. Try shooting a .75 cal. You're not a real man until you shoot that.
So, there. - douggmc, on 01/02/2008, -3/+2automatic? Is there any other kind of M249.
Lame video game players ... - gigabyte3d, on 01/02/2008, -3/+1The best way to experience this gun is to play counter strike source!
- iRoy, on 01/02/2008, -4/+1I'd rather play Call of Duty 4.
- verynegative, on 01/02/2008, -6/+1I know that this is just everyone's own business, but you americans should try not to like weapons so much.
Havent you learned ANYTHING in the past few years??
This shouldnt be in the front page.
