  • the plastic drums are 200 rnds and they can sometimes still fall off. i did use the canvas pouches that 100 rnds which I didnt notice any problems. the SAW is plenty accurate. and the other question, it is a carrying handle. the barrel release latch like the m240 is on the receiver itself.

  • Thanks for the vid! I'm curious, what's the ammo capcity of the ammo can for the one you're firing, is it 200 rounds? And do the ammo cans still experience issues like jamming and coming loose, or has that been largely fixed now? I've also heard that some SAW gunners are using other, smaller 100 or 150 round containers that use plastic or canvas, is that true?

  • @Schone23666

    this is a 100 rnd assault pouch made of canvas.

  • @Schone23666

    loljust looked at the vid and a 200 rnd plastic drum is on there. i did have 100 rnd canvas pouches i generally used on patrols

  • Direct quote from a soldier I know: "If you see a guy stand up and shoulder fire a -240 for awhile...he's a badass mofo."

  • @5B1 stfu you cod faggot

  • @Zerothomas In 1993 I did an exchange with the Marines and they were not really allowed to use the carry handle on their M16s for the same reason that you mentioned but it was fine for them to use their slings. Funny thing was that we were allowed to use the carry handle but we were not allowed to fit a sling to our rifles because it was considered lazy by our boss. Go figure lol

  • @burt2800

    Except when you learn how to use the SAW in SOI you will be told that its NOT a carry handle but ONLY a barrel changing handle because they dont want Marines getting into the habit of getting lazy and carrying it by the handle. Its like that just incase you get into some shit and dont have you hand on the pistol grip ready to fire. FNH, who makes the gun, on the other hand will tell you its just a carry handle and not a barrel changing handle
