I used to cringe with the guys that jumped Stingers

Those guys had to be at the front door and first out due to the ackwardness of jumping that Stinger. They would also honeycomb them as well for the jump.

We had the 240Bs when the rest of the Army still had the M60s (but they were phasing them out). Funny story was that my SMG had a 240 when he fought against the Commies for the Rhodesian Light Infantry after Vietnam.

Had hoped those composite cases might have made it into the contract -- EDGEMAN 04/20/2022 12:13PM

I wonder if you have to pick up composite cases at the range -- AirborneHokie96 04/20/2022 4:25PM

Probably, but they probably want you to drop them into the trash. ** -- EDGEMAN 04/20/2022 7:10PM
