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 require burst firing at medium to long range to remain accurate - it's wise to readjust your aim between bursts too, as the muzzle flash will otherwise obscure your target. The iron sights are fairly good, somewhat similar to the M16's, and although they obscure some of the target the front post is a clear indicator of where the bullets will hit - useful for aiming at long range and one advantage over the MG4's misaligned sights. Sleight of Hand is a must for the LMGs - otherwise you'll find the aim and reload speed is too slow to be competitive. You get a generous amount of ammunition, even without scavenger, so it isn't too much of a sacrifice. The fast rate of fire means that stopping power makes a relatively small difference in the time to kill - but this assumes all your shots connect. I'd strongly recommend Stopping Power for the 3-hit kills it provides, otherwise you'll find your enemies will have ample time to get into cover before you're able to get effective shots on target. Your third perk is a little more open - I'm a fan of sit rep pro with the LMGs, as it gives you a good idea of where people are holed up with claymores - and the lo
