I wasn't referring to CQB training (which is all blanks and BFAs). I was mostly referring to live fire on the range or active duty use in Iraq or Afghanistan. So far, my buddies in the sand box don't have that much trouble with them. I' recently fired LIVE at a law enforcement weapons range (pretty much the only place you can fire full auto without anyone batting an eyelash). I got to dump 600 rounds in one sitting with no stoppages. Again, what's with the guns in Canada anyway? I find it hard to believe you guys up north don't get that much live fire time. Is that true? I know our Canuck friends had troops helping us in Iraq and Afghanistan. Have any of them complained about the M249?
