Stuff I've been saying for many years now.
If anyone wonders why we call our SAWs and M240s the most casualty-producing weapons in the Infantry Squad and Platoon, there should be no more doubt about why after this weekend, sadly.
M240 maximum effective range was listed at 1800m, which is extreme plunging fire range.
Most people don't have a clue how Infantry Squads and Platoons are even employed, including most of the people in the military.
This is one of the reasons why there is so much focus on riflemen and carbines, instead of weapons that count so much more, like machine-guns, DM systems, and mortars.
