M249 light machine gun question?
I tried searching, but I need someone to help me. Y Is there a variant of the M249, which is chambered in 5.56 mm, has a bipod, telescopic stock, Picatinny Rails along the tray and the hand guards, and also the ability to use M16 magazines STANAG style? .. I am under the impression that all modern M249 excluded the need for capacity magazine box to save weight. I watched the Mk.46, the Para, and SPW versions, but apparently not all of the magazine well .. Perhaps there are hybrid version that has that, and all these features? btw .. I know that running a M16 mag with a saw is not exactly ideal. A former Navy SEAL told me that the 249 bolt may actually distort the lips eat a mag, and in case of emergency, it would be fair rather take a M4 fallen teammates .. I'm curious to know if there are alternatives that still have the mag well. I sincerely thank each of you who responded. It will be difficult to choose the best answer.
The M249 I did this year was set up exactly as you described. The Hand Guard is usually changed out of a Rail System, and the stock is exchanged for a foldable. Some of our guys used a gun to his forehead, some have used the M4 handguards for the rails. Personally, I do not care, so I left bare. We also exchanged for a short barrel instead of the standard length. You can not see, but the magazine is still there too. With the butt collapsed, he made the SAW slightly less than a M4 if there is no real change in weight. Image http://imgur.com/Y27Li.jpg
