On patrol in Afghanistan

[darkshadow]

This was in the paper today, and I could not identify the rifle. Looks a little odd.

Anybody?

Looks like a SAW with collapsible stock.

[RobSmith]

Looks like a C9 AKA FN Minimi AKA M249 AKA SAW AKA half a dozen other since lots of people use those things to me ....

Yep,, C9A2. It has two barrel sizes,, and the one in the picture looks to be the shorter of the two: approx 16.7 inches.

 

[Infantry-Soldier]

Butt stock folds also.

 

[Until the Angels Fall]

I want one! LOL

 

[sherlockbonez]

Now only if I can use this saw to cut down some trees.

 

[Spanky]

Yes it's a new C9A2, this LMG has the firepower of 10 rifles and it is a blast to shoot.

 

[Logan_Lamothe]

I need 2, 1 for the truck and 1 for the house.

 

[darkshadow]

Ah now that I look a little closer I see the saw box on there, they guy must be big looked small to me.

My buddy in the reserves has a video of him actually doing this. I'll see if I can find it.

If he does, it would be pretty stupid to post it.

 

[mmmmmsteak]

Its a C9A2...

Where are the mags in the second shot? I think they're just posing for a picture. We used the C9 when I was in the infantry, but we had the 200 round belt fed mags. It could take a mag off the C7 but the ammo didn't last long. And yes, it was a total blast to shoot

That's because it's not a rifle . . . C9A2 light machine gun

FOR THE LOVE OF OUR COUNTRY.
All of you who calls it the "SAW" - you Americans...

In Canada, we either call it the C9 or LMG. I have had my ass chewed out for calling it the "M249" or "S.A.W."

We have our C7/C8 Rifles
We have our C9 Light Machine Gun - Section weapon
And We have our C6 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) - Platoon weapon

-sorry, don't mean offend. If I happen to offend anybody (I apologize in advance)

 

[Giarc]

Its the new C9A2 with the CQB barrel and the folding butt stock.

 

[Smitsauce]

Is that an extra barrel on the top of the closest guy's pack? I would love to fire one of those!!!!
