It's a fantastic weapon in its role, which is to be emplaced and fired from a belt with an assistant gunner. When you have to feed it from 50rds drums, 1200rpm becomes a liability.

Shouldn't be though. Its kind of embarrassing that the Russians made a lighter weapon around the same time and with nearly 60 years to chip the weight down, it still hasn't been surpassed. You'd think that with for example titanium receivers being a thing we could have an MAG/M240 at 14 lbs, but no the best that the entire MIC can pull off is 22 lbs. So I think that while its the best, the weight thing and having the shells eject right where you want to put your hand makes it dangerously easy to topple and its only through shameful complacency in the firearms industry that nobody has made anything that blows it the fuck out.

That's why they had a heavier bolt. You could get it down to 900 which is still pretty high but a little easier to manage..

>not 5.56 or 7.62

Never getting adopted within this century

Well, that's the thing. You have to modify the original design to shoehorn it into a new role. I'm not saying it's bad, by any means, it's one of the greatest belt-fed weapons in history, it's just that it loses a lot in the translation to something you can pack around in a modern squad.

One thing that bothers me, in every video of these in training exercises, is why they shoot off the last rounds and go through the full reload cycle, everytime.

Why not just link another belt to the last bullet, and keep on going? Outside of barrel changing. Whats the point of belts if you cant quickly link them together? Why are you going through a full loading cycle every time with a belt fed when you stop for a second, take off the ouch and link that belt up to the last few bullets, and keep on firing?

Because reloading takes practice, while linking belts doesn't.

Because it's training?

Again, why isnt there videos of quickly snapping a belt onto a bullet on the ass end of belts as the reload method? I get not doing it during barrel swapping.

Am I misremembering the Johnson LMG being related to that?

Because the germans have not been in a fight where such a large ammount of lead is needed downrange since ww2.

Holy shit the PKP is over 8.5 pounds lighter than a 240B

Well ya, the 240b receiver by itself probably weighs nearly as much as the pk

#1 fatty

There is nothing hotter than turning a 240G to full gas and ripping cans of M13 link at max cyclic rate.

Have fun sorting those links and brass
