Check out that 50 cal on the front of the coast guard boat!

SAW(squad automatic weapon).

.223cal.(5.56mm).

Lightest machinegun in the US arsenal.

Flap...60mm is awfully big!That would be 20mm bigger than the grenades used in an M79/M203 grenade launcher.To shoot a projectile that big the gun would be bigger than that boat!

My kid brother who served with the 101st in Afghanistan and Iraq is sitting here next to me, and he informs me that it does terrible things to human flesh when used properly

M240 Excellent for clearing buildings....Don't even need to open the door to reach into the next room...Should take care of 3/4" plate with no trouble..
