LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- Sig Sauer gave a live-fire tour of its new .338 Norma Magnum machine gun -- a lightweight weapon that U.S. Special Operation Command recently selected for evaluation.

The Sig MG 338 general-purpose machine gun weighs just over 21 pounds and fires at a rate of 600 rounds per minute, delivering potent .338 Norma Magnum rounds out to ranges of 1,500 meters. The Army and Marine Corps-issue M240 machine gun in 7.62 x 51mm NATO can weigh up to 27 pounds, and has an effective range out to approximately 800 meters.

I could put down some coyotes with that.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

No doubts there

 

[togmaster]

I want one

Just one?

 

[SmallGameAddict]

Just one?

You're right. I was thinking selfishly. The wife might appreciate one too

 

[Jaywmustang]

Pricey ammo.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

That's to be expected

 

[Depick]

We need tax payer appreciation day where we get to play with all the toys our money is being spent on.

[Airborneguy]

That's sick. I'd be happy with a SAW still though.

Had to familiarize with the M60 in the Army. Every 3rd round was a *tracer. A lot of fun on an old jeep @ 800 meters

Edit: spelling. I ever mention I hate phones?

I had a 50rd link a while back and the tracer was every 5......wish I didn't shoot them off.

How do you determine which of the migrant stream are the coyotes? They might not be visibly armed.

 

[Jaywmustang]

they are all coyotes to me.
