In 1977, the US military adopted the FN MAG as the M240 in vehicular configuration to replace the less-than-successful M73/M219 machine guns. The USMC would get an early start adapting the 240 to ground configuration (the M240G), but it wasn’t until 1995 that the Army formally replaced the M60 with the MAG in M240B layout. The M240B has a number of differences from the standard MAG:
- Single-position gas regulator, giving about 600 RPM
- Picatinny rail on the top cover for mounting optics
- Front heat shield over the barrel to prevent heat mirage
- Top cover can be closed with the bolt either ...

The M240: The Most Reliable Machine Gun in the World
M240 is a successful and well-regarded tool of destruction that has proven itself in battle in Afghanistan, Iraq and now in Ukraine. Do you remember Rambo spitting a wall of lead with his M60? This is the very weapon that replaced that beast. The durability of the M240 results in superior reliability when compared to the M60. The 7.62 mm rounds that this weapon shoots are highly regarded for their great stopping power and high penetration in urban combat situations. With a rate of fire up to 950 rounds per minute, it wreaks havoc on those on the receiving end. The M240 is a US-built version of the Belgian FN MAG, that is one of the most widespread and effective General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs) in the world. But, much of the weapon was derived from the basic design formula of the Browni...

M240B Medium Machine Gun Qualification
The M240, officially Machine Gun, 7.62mm, M240, is the US military designation for the FN MAG (Mitrailleuse d'Appui Général, meaning General Purpose Machine Gun), a family of belt-fed, gas-operated medium machine guns firing the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge. The M240B is the standard infantry medium machine gun of the U.S. Army. It is also in service with the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard. It comes configured for ground combat with a buttstock and bipod, though it is also mounted aboard ships and small boats. It is almost always referred to as an "M240 Bravo" or even just "240" verbally. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M240_machine_gun

New Lightweight Machinegun FMG 762 VS M240 | Tactical Rifleman
I love machineguns. You love machineguns. Everyone loves machineguns. While I have some time shooting machineguns in Baghdad; you can never have ENOUGH time behind machineguns. So, when we were asking if we wanted to review a modern "Replacement" for the M240B Machinegun, we of course jumped at the chance. We loaded up the TR truck and headed out to Arizona to link up with the team from Daycraft Systems. They had a bunch of really innovative projects from lightweight machineguns, to miniguns, and yes, a 50 caliber chain-gun!!!
Modern replacement? What does that mean? Lighter is ALWAYS better; we want MLok to add accessories & optics; and we need reliability. Enter the FMG762 from Daycraft Systems. While there is a light-weight version of the M240 currently in service, it has HALF the l...

Marines and Soldiers Agree: The M240 Is the Best Machine Gun
On the morning of July 13, 2008, Sgt. Ryan Pitts and a small contingent of nine paratroopers were manning an observation post that overlooked a remote American base housing 48 of their brothers-in-arms in Afghanistan’s deadly Wanat Valley. The sun had yet to crest the Hindu Kush mountains surrounding the small outpost when a force of more than 200 Taliban fighters unleashed a barrage of rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun fire.
Pitts was wounded in the opening onslaught. Shrapnel peppered his arms and legs. In spite of his wounds, Pitts returned fire with an M240 machine gun, slinging 650 bullets a minute at the advancing enemy. Whenever he needed to reload the 27-pound weapon, Pitts lobbed hand grenades over the outpost’s walls. While he fought to fend off waves of determined Talib...

The M240B has since been adopted by the Marines as well, and served extensively in Iraq and
Afghanistan. It I a quite heavy gun (24+ pounds) but very well liked by its users for being exceptionally rugged, dependable, and accurate. The one we have today is in pristine condition, and one of just 11 transferrable examples registered in the US.

M240 is a successful and well-regarded tool of destruction that has proven itself in battle in
Afghanistan, Iraq and now in Ukraine. Do you remember Rambo spitting a wall of lead with his M60? This is the very weapon that replaced that beast. The durability of the M240 results in superior reliability when compared to the M60. The 7.62 mm rounds that this weapon shoots are highly regarded for their great stopping power and high penetration in urban combat situations. With a rate of fire up to 950 rounds per minute, it wreaks havoc on those on the receiving end. The M240 is a US-built version of the Belgian FN MAG, that is one of the most widespread and effective General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs) in the world. But, much of the weapon was derived from the basic design formula of the Browning Model 1918 BAR. Several sources report that the M240 is the most reliable machine gun in the world.

I love machineguns. You love machineguns. Everyone loves machineguns. While I have some time shooting machineguns in Baghdad; you can never have ENOUGH time behind machineguns. So, when we were asking if we wanted to review a modern "Replacement" for the M240B Machinegun, we of course jumped at the chance. We loaded up the TR truck and headed out to Arizona to link up with the team from Daycraft Systems. They had a bunch of really innovative projects from lightweight machineguns, to miniguns, and yes, a 50 caliber chain-gun!!!
Modern replacement? What does that mean? Lighter is ALWAYS better; we want MLok to add accessories & optics; and we need reliability. Enter the FMG762 from Daycraft Systems. While there is a light-weight version of the M240 currently in service, it has HALF the life cycle of a normal 240. The Daycraft FMG762 is half the weight, but still maintains that longer life cycle. Lighter is better, especially when moving dismounted. This puppy was a total joy to shoot and maneuver with.
The Daycraft FMG 762 machinegun can be used with any current US machinegun mounting systems currently being used by the military, to include to include vehicle, maritime, and aircraft mounts. For our military viewers out there, internationally and here at home; if you are looking at modernizing your machinegun fleet, you need to check this bad ass puppy out!!! I WISH I had one of these back in Iraq. It is AWESOME.
For the rest of us "Civilians" without access to our own machineguns; well, I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed filming it. Hopefully, some day soon, the NFA will be dropped, and I'll be right there in line to get my hands on a couple of these!!!

On the morning of July 13, 2008, Sgt. Ryan Pitts and a small contingent of nine paratroopers were manning an observation post that overlooked a remote American base housing 48 of their brothers-in-arms in
Afghanistan’s deadly Wanat Valley. The sun had yet to crest the Hindu Kush mountains surrounding the small outpost when a force of more than 200 Taliban fighters unleashed a barrage of rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun fire.
Pitts was wounded in the opening onslaught. Shrapnel peppered his arms and legs. In spite of his wounds, Pitts returned fire with an M240 machine gun, slinging 650 bullets a minute at the advancing enemy. Whenever he needed to reload the 27-pound weapon, Pitts lobbed hand grenades over the outpost’s walls. While he fought to fend off waves of determined Taliban fighters, nine of his fellow paratroopers were killed and 27 more were wounded.
Pitts survived the attack and would later be awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in what became known as the Battle of Wanat. Had it not been for Pitts’ uncommon devotion to duty and his skill with the M240, the number of American dead would have been higher.

On the morning of July 13, 2008, Sgt. Ryan Pitts and a small contingent of nine paratroopers were manning an observation post that overlooked a remote American base housing 48 of their brothers-in-arms in
Afghanistan’s deadly Wanat Valley. The sun had yet to crest the Hindu Kush mountains surrounding the small outpost when a force of more than 200 Taliban fighters unleashed a barrage of rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun fire.
Pitts was wounded in the opening onslaught. Shrapnel peppered his arms and legs. In spite of his wounds, Pitts returned fire with an M240 machine gun, slinging 650 bullets a minute at the advancing enemy. Whenever he needed to reload the 27-pound weapon, Pitts lobbed hand grenades over the outpost’s walls. While he fought to fend off waves of determined Taliban fighters, nine of his fellow paratroopers were killed and 27 more were wounded.
Pitts survived the attack and would later be awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in what became known as the Battle of Wanat. Had it not been for Pitts’ uncommon devotion to duty and his skill with the M240, the number of American dead would have been higher.
