The M240, officially Machine Gun, 7.62mm, M240, is the US military designation for the FN MAG (Mitrailleuse d'Appui Général, meaning general-purpose machine gun), a family of belt-fed, gas-operated medium machine guns firing the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge.
The M240 has been used by the United States Armed Forces since the late-1970s. It is used extensively by infantry, most often rifle companies as well as ground vehicles, watercraft and aircraft. Despite being heavier than comparable weapons, it is highly regarded for reliability and its standardization among NATO members is a major advantage.
All variants are fed from disintegrating belts, and are capable of firing most types of 7.62 mm (.308) NATO ammunition. M240 variants can use non-disintegrating belts (following replacement of a few easily swappable parts). There are significant differences in weight and some features among some versions which restrict interchangeability of parts. The M240s used by the US military are currently manufactured by FN Manufacturing, a US-based branch of FN Herstal.
The FN MAG is a Belgian 7.62 mm general-purpose machine gun, designed in the early 1950s at Fabrique Nationale (FN) by Ernest Vervier. It has been used by more than 80 countries, and it has been made under licence in several countries, including Argentina, Egypt, India and the United Kingdom.
The weapon's name is an abbreviation for Mitrailleuse d'Appui Général, meaning general-purpose machine gun (GPMG). The MAG is available in three primary versions: the standard, infantry Model 60-20 machine gun, the Model 60-40 coaxial machine gun for armoured fighting vehicles and the Model 60-30 aircraft variant.
The MAG Model 60-20 is an automatic, air-cooled, gas-operated machine gun, firing belt-fed 7.62×51mm NATO from an open bolt.
The MAG uses ignited powder gases vented through a port in the barrel to propel a gas piston rod connected to the locking assembly (it uses a long-stroke piston system). The barrel breech is locked with a vertically tilting, downward locking lever mechanism that is connected to the bolt carrier through an articulated joint. The locking shoulder and camming surfaces that guide the locking lever are located at the base of the receiver. The MAG uses a series of proven design concepts from other successful firearms, for example the locking mechanism is modeled on that of the Browning M1918 (BAR) automatic rifle, and the feed and trigger mechanisms are from the WWII-era MG42 universal machine gun.
Special thanks to Quiet Riot Firearms in McDonough, GA for bringing this firearm out for us to showcase for you guys. The M240 Bravo is a formidable belt fed, open bolt, gas operated, fully automatic weapon of the modern battlefield. Firing the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge from disintegrating links, the M240B delivers a considerable amount more energy on target than its smaller sibling the M249 in 5.56x45mm NATO. This is a very reliable weapon featuring a quick change, self headspacing barrel system and the ability to be mounted on many different vehicles, aircraft or on a tripod/bipod for medium range support fire roles.

M240 is the US military designation for the Belgian-made FN M-A-G, or mitrai-lleuse d- app-ui gener-al - referring to this weapon's role as a 'general purpose machine gun'. It was adopted by the US Army in 1977, used as a coaxial tank-mounted weapon. Since then its role has been expanded to infantry usage. It fires the NATO standard rifle cartridge, the 7.62 by 51 millimetre. In-game, the M240 is a relatively low-damage, mid-recoil light machine gun with a very high rate of fire. It handles a little like the F2000, but benefits from the LMG's large magazine and lack of damage-drop off at range. The recoil is relatively mild, but is still sufficient to...
