| The 240 is an incredible weapon system. They are heavy, but not so heavy they are unbearable. One of the guys in our weapons platoon used to shoulder his 240 like it was an M4. He was doing it more as a joke, but it was still impressive.
I wouldn't mind having an M60 in my collection, but if I'm going to combat, I'd choose the 240 every time.
