Good grief, will you two get a room, swap drool or whatever subliminal longing you two have for each other?

Is that M1117 the newer vehicle profiled on Future Weapons?  It has the V-shaped hull to better deflect the force of IEDs, etc?

The closest barrel is definitely NOT an M240 barrel.  That is most definitely a .50 HB.  HB = Heavy Barrel.

The M240 is the modern replacement to the M60.  As mentioned above, the round diameter is 7.62mm.  The barrel is much lighter than that of the .50 cal.

Why do you insist on being obtuse? The turret mounted guns are .50 M2HB and the Mk19. It's not open to debate.

Besides, the M240 is gas operated, where's the gas tube under the barrel? I am very familiar with the M240 and its replacement for SOCOM, the Mk47 (both designed and manufactured by FN). I'm even more familiar with the M2HB.

By the way, did you even bother to look at the links?

Here's the M240:


Here's a zoom-in of the weapon on the M1117: Where's the gas tube?


The facts are that the two weapons installed in the turret are as I described.

You can read the manufacturer's data sheet here if you want your nose rubbed in it...

Lets go into this then why did notthe US adopt the MG42, or MG3 the best GPMG of all time but instead adopt the abortion of the M60 and FN jobs?

Actually, it is a development of the V-150.... You were on the right track.
