    This is probably the best version of this format I’ve seen. Audibly laughed. The IAR really do be like that.

      The IAR is dope; tinfoil theory of M16 replacement or no, it’s a legit (especially maritime) upgrade with a solid out the box issued package. Weight freed from individual load aside, the M249 accuracy is seriously lacking;

      The M249 is not a particularly accurate weapon, accurate to only twelve minutes of angle

      Cry as we may about belt fed rate of fire and suppression, volume fire is anathema to a resupply limited strike force. It’s the right choice as SAW replacement and rifleman weapon - volume fire on demand, but accurate fire first otherwise.
