Snipe or anyone that is in the know. I see the "Chain Gun" mounted on our armour and was wondering what kind of round this thing fires and what is the Rate of Fire? Fender Don't tell me what you think, what does the T.O. say. |

The M-242 Bushmaster chaingun is an electricly chain driven, dual feed 25mm cannon. Low rate of fire is 100RPM, and high rate is 200 RPM. It is gyrostabilized only in the M-2/3A3 version. The earlier models must stop to employ the weapon. Standard protocol is a 3-5 rd burst per target. "US Army Snipers- One shot, one kill" |

Thanks. What is the other weapon on top of the hummers and other armour. Not the .50 BMG but the other one that looks to be an automatic grenade launcher? Fender Don't tell me what you think, what does the T.O. say. |

Where can I get a (deactivated) round for the Bushmaster 242? It would look good between my 20mm & 30mm rounds! "The First Rule in a Gunfight: Have a gun. If you violate this rule, no other rules apply" Jeff Cooper |

and thus you would learn why the sky is blue.... and what the spirit of a bayonet is... and what makes the green grass grow. but I digress.... I want a 20mm and a 25mm to go with my 30mm.... <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> 1. Don't look conspicuous; it draws fire. 2. Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you. |
