They made a few mods on it and dubbed it the M-249. In Canada we use a C9, just like the factory model but with an Elcan scope on it. Its a nice little gun. Hey L24A, that barrel looks a little short. Where was that pic taken? They let you have live ammo off the range? or was that pic taken on a tour? Tyler<span id='postcolor'> Pic was taken in Bosnia on tour with the RRF on Mt. Igman. Weapon is FN Minimi PARA-model hence the shorter barrel and retractable butt.

They put a handgaurd on it to prevent burns. If you ask me, it would just get in my way, it looks too bulky. I aslo hear that they have to remove the barrel to switch the gas settings, is this true? Tyler<span id='postcolor'> Not true, Gas settings can be changed with the selector on the gas feedback, right under the barrel. (same system as FN-MAG or GPMG) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madmike 0 Posted January 15, 2002 yeah, the SAS used them in the Gulf and probably Afganistan. Hey L24A, how many tours have you done in Bosnia and how long was each one. My dad tried to get me out to Bosnia a few years ago via Croatia, but sadly it never happened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(same system as FN-MAG or GPMG)<span id='postcolor'> Yeah I know. I just finished my gunners course back in June of '01 We use the C6 (FN MAG) do you use the same? My most memorable time with the C6 would have to be when we were on the tank ranges up in Meaford Ontario. On the night shoot in the SF role. Our FPF (Final Protective Fire) was set up on a tank about 400m away. We set all 4 guns to the FPF and fired away using all our trace ammo. It looked like something out of Star Wars! My best shot with it would have to be when I hit an old jeep (or something like that) @ 950m, that was neat. Tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
