Don't forget Tabasco. Everything tastes better with some of that spicy stuff

I was going to ask if you were shy or something. But that 240 is a beauty

See how beautiful it is after carrying it 14 miles. Our Senior Drill Sergeant has never seen someone carry the M240 for the entire ruckmarch w/o having to hand it off to someone else the entire time he's been a DS.

Interesting thing they told us there:

If you disassemble an M240 while it is cocked you will be seriously injured.
They also told us that if we took apart the M2HB while it was cocked that the force from the spring shooting out would probably kill us.
