maybe some of these younger guys can tell us how a SAWS ( M240) compares...if it does at all...


The SAW and the M240 are two different guns.

SAWs (M249) are kind of junky, IMO. They worked, most of the time. But working most of the time is not acceptable.

240s are pretty damned reliable, and the guys I was around that had used both the M60 and the 240 generally preferred the 240.
