a challage for any and everyone M240B

[Jack_Reacher]

Ok so my team leader at the 82nd proposed a question to me that was asked of him but one of our higher up and apperintlly this is a mind bogaling question that no one here can see to figure out so if any one has any info or know someone who would plz pass the word on that an airborne infantryman is in need of help.

ok so the question "how many rifles does it take to suppress a M240B?" so like i said any info would be awsome thanks evryone "all the way!"

are you a private? it sounds like one of them n00blet jokes. i've never heard this one (16 years active duty come December).



now go ask him where the PRC-E6 is.

 

[NHAtHeart]

I'm not military but I'd say only one if you're good enough?

 

[crazymjb]

I dunno, but you should probably go get some Chemlight batteries from your supply and grab the Humvee keys from your 1st Sgt.

Make sure you post the answer when you find it.

The question is so vague and leaves so much room for interpretation that it would really be impossible to give you an answer. You can kill the gunner with one well placed shot from one rifle, technically speaking. I don't know if there is some magic formula for suppressing medium machine-guns, I've never heard one and I've been an 0331 for going on 5 years.

You don't use a rifle to suppress a 240, you use a suppressor.

Now go get me the keys to the damn 5 ton.

Yup.
This guy never needed more than one:

 

[peteyb]

I dont get it. Suppression is subjective to the shooter not the firearm. The weapon isnt gonna be the one to decide when the shooter will put his head down

 

[Admin]

Report to the armory and clean weapons cherry!

 

[Lip]

You need 100 feet of gig line and some squelch powder.

 

[hurley431]

I mean, technically I believe a weapon system is "suppressed" when incoming fire is greater than it's rate of fire. so if the 240 is 650 to 850 round a minute (or is that the SAW?) and an m4 is 60 Rounds a minute... ish. Than 15? If this is a new guy joke I've never heard of it before. Now go get me a box of grid squares and an ACOG battery; also, Get a PRICKY-6 form from you Squad leader.

The cyclic rate of the two platforms are comparable. The rate of fire that matters is the sustained and rapid rate. I've seen 1800 rounds put through an HK416 at more or less the sustained rate of an M240 with no problems, the last 600 rounds the hand-guards started to get a bit warm though. The big advantage you will have with the M240 is the range. I've seen targets engaged out past 1000 meters pretty consistently.

I really don't think that is what the question is asking though, and I don't really understand it.

[abundigas]

The answer is Zero......... We all know that rifles are inanimate objects and can perorm no function without an Operator. so the question is a trick... Rifles dont suppress M240B's,shooters do.

 

[crazymjb]

In that case M240Bs aren't suppressed, their operators are.

[RIFLEMAN1000]

Wait one minute here , let me get Red Jacket on the line this could be a game changer!

 

[Artie]

I can't answer that question
I am still looking for the "ID 10 T" Forms

 

[In God We Trust]

The answer is one rifle. Shoot the gunner and the 240B is effectively suppressed.

 

[In God We Trust]

While you are at it get a bag of bezel clicks, and a can of back blast. Don't forget the box of grid chords.

Also get some chemlight batteries and a 50 foot length of wood line. Grab a ball peen hammer and check the Bradley for soft spots too.

 

[inerlogic]

i still have some chemlight batteries from when i was in.... should i have taken them home or is there some law against that... i mean, it's a consumable... didn't have to sign for em..... please advise....

 

[xx240gxx]

Boot . . .

 

[economist]

All of this military humor is about as entertaining as I would have predicted.

Always running out of chem light batteries. We've had to just start refilling them with starboard running light fluid. Damned Continuing Resolutions, no budget, you know...

 

[NHKevin]

You should have joined the Air Force. You wouldn't have to worry about this stuff. You would instead be fetching a couple gallons of prop wash and 50 yards of flight line.
