[quote=Gunmaster45;4478]Huh, what war-crazed urge would tempt someone to carry a 120lb Browning M2 around, I wonder...
QUOTE]
In the case of a friend who has carried an M-2 SAS style. His unit had to transport the thing cross country for I forget how many miles and My friend is 6'4" and built like a packmule. At the time he didn't mind carrying that much weight but he has bitched about having to manpack a TOW launcher.

as far as weight goes the Bren gun is effectivly a 20 pound rifle but there is a very good reason it lasted from WWII to the Falklands. Compaired to that a FAL is lightweight and manuverable.
