This is not a U.S. designated M240, it is a L7A2 GPMG it is of the FAL family made by belgium, it has been used by the BRITISH ARMED FORCES, The GPMG of the Brit forces, currently semi replaced by the LSW/Minimi (for the SAS) it still holds a place in the machinegun role where fire power is needed. Capabale of pouring immense volumes of fire power on any enemy, it can be very usefull in the right position. Just be carefull you dont overheat it with sustained fire.
