there in lies the rub of having action sequences in any work of fiction. People who know what the f#ck they are talking about will pick apart your action sequences if you get them wrong and you will have c-pipe smokers pick apart your work if you go for realism. I'm shooting for some semblance of realism and noting that my stories are just fantasy and have little semblance to reality.
Basically if the badguys have stolden an M-240B you had better hope that they blow out the barrel or run out of ammo before they blow away whatever you are useing for cover.
As far as my stories setting goes it starts about the year 2018 and goes on from there and it's not a great place with Mexico a house of cards that's nearly in the hands of the drug cartels. The cartels have ended up with a status Quo and they like it that way. so having some kid ordering hits on us law enforcement and generally useing his own product is a bad thing. As far as the US goes we have had eight years of bad politics and are midterm of a moderate coup de etat so to speak. Things are bad but are looking up, and alot of bad laws are being repealed or rulled uncostitutional.
