The sound of machinegun fire is so satisfying
It is
I've been a 240L machine gunner and it is the best feeling you can have. I've destroyed random vehicles because we thought them to be hostile.
In all reality I was firing for a live fire exercise similar to what is showed in the video. Real war is hardly depicted despite what may actually happen across the world.
Unless it’s directed at you
i remember this same gun giving me PTSD in a video game
Tf why does the sound of machine gun fire soothes me. To me, they're just satisfying.
Unless you're at the other end of the barrel, of course.
I had no idea this vidoe of me was on here. This was 2 years ago for me on a training rotation to Germany(my first). To answer some questions i see on here, for one what im doing with my hands is measuring degrees from my barrel to the maneuvering element(30 for bipod 15 for tripod). The 1000 2000 count you hear is seconds between bursts. Yes i was inexperienced and as a pvt i was put on the gun because i qualified expert, i was an AB(ammo bearer) but our actual gunner sucked and only qualed 2nd class so they threw me on. The reason you see a bfa on there and then without one is because we do two itierations of the live fire, any unsafe acts in blank run we will not be allowed to go on to live. And yes the position sucked, courtesy of range control.
What's the soldier doing with the orange sign at 3:59?
Giant-Robot hes giving a signal to confirm that our guns have shifted fire off the the objective to allow the manuever element to clear the compound.
Thanks. Great video. The Irish Defence forces use a variant of this weapon. I believe it's simply the original Belgian FN MAG.

Normal people:I love the birds singing on the morning

Are you a drug dealer?!

Angelo Frisone Pakistan is interested this weopen
Always a good time when you here talking machine guns
Hear*
@@sachin2842 Ohhh
You recognized the sound. Ooh Rah brother
Really drunk listening to this so grateful I am alive :)
Bless me with the audio 😌
Man, the sound of that SAW on the background is insane..
Þl0
I swear
@Grim Reaper 666 bro chill nobody cares 😂😂
@Grim Reaper 666 you have zero SEC championships
On or in the background?
as an ex soldier i can tell you guys one thing .. ``machine gun fire is so god damn Loud.. i think this video doesnt really show just how crazy and intense the noise of live fire is .. the eardrums can almost burst . it can literally drive men crazy
The M240 is based on the MAG 58 so this gun came from some very good breeding. The 240 has been around for awhile now as our GPMG it has been proven very reliable easy to maintain and was 18 steps over the top of the M60 which I hear of a company now that has finally gotten that mess to be at least semi-reliable with intense maintenance! But then the M60 was built in the US the 240 is built by FN!
Exactly.
I'll have issues trusting a 5.56 gpmg...i mean, in africa, even rifles chambered for that round are viewed like toys. For gpmg the PKM is my 1st choice. And there are several chambered for nato 7.62. M-60 is ok too but really heavy.
Nerrrrrrrd
Z,,r,,r,,r,,,d, .xzdzz,,,,,,,,,,,,
The M240 is chambered in 7.62x51mm
Are those 3m earplugs I see? You might be entitled to compensation.
Why? Was there a class-action?
The weapon is a beast, it's about as big of a machine gun you can man-carry, though I'm partial to the 249, I love them both. It is a monster though.
Are you an veteran?

I personally hated the SAW. Could clear a malfunction frkm a 249 as fast as you could reload and reindex an M4. Good times.
Strong comado like it so much..keep it up comrades
I just got bass headphones and imminently went to see this video again.
Girls ASMR: *does ear licking*
Boys:
Glad you’re on it lyr
Nothing like going to bed to the sound of gunfire
Me and the boys headglitching on Shoot House:
Am I underestimating the power of -5 pounds on the M240L?
From what I understand, yes. Even with the weight reduction it's not exactly light, but it's something.
Yeah me too like huh
folks, go back and listen to vids of the LasVegas shooting and it sounds just like this. two different weapons firing simultaneously or nearly so. one like the weapon in the distance which has a faster firing rate but lighter sound and then one exactly like the chunky-heavy sound of the 240. In fact every military guy commenting on those lasvegas vids that shot the 240 (or the M60) swears that is one of the guns firing.
Me and the boys after we found a comfy defending position in a nerf war
I like the sound effects of the gun firing battle
Once and for all time now! Yeah!!!
Enemies....trying one man doing this never mind a trained army. Respect 🙏
I put this on before I go to bed
Wow no recoil at all i just like these guns
title should read, "boots learning to gun"😂
k
Apparently guy was a fresh private on the line.
The nostalgia i remember hearing this on 1999 in Colorado in my school:)
"monstrously powerful"
M2: hi i exist.
M242: HI! I EXIST TOO.
1:32 Hey talk with the saw !
Were they actually shooting at people or just targets
Targete. This is a live fire exercise.
I use to rock a GPMG back in my British Army days.. No better feeling then ripping away all day long.
H ha jj

20th september, groom lake base
TH-cam has to solve this bug in the app... I am at my school and when I pause the video the noises don’t stop
It’s currently 01:14 am and I live near a British army base and I’ve had this noise drilling into my skull for the past 2 hours and I can’t sleep and I have school so this is gonna be fun , don’t get me wrong it’s interesting in the day but only the DAY why practice on a Tuesday in the middle of the night x
The sound is almost as accurate as iam sitting on the Tiolet
How do you shoot an IED though?
These gun m24oL made in u,s,a, full strong, full automatic nice to used even there's a compatation good luck sir,mam, target we full in, thanks mam,sir,

I am using these sounds to scare pigeons in my balcony...😢
I need one of this in my life. I need a lot of shit to get rid of.

I like Light and Heavy Machine Guns.
I love the echo
That's faster than what I'm hearing.

Dear santa
Sparty™ hdirhhei
Super
Funny how simplistic guns are. There core design hasn't changed for 100's of years
The gun barrel is so steady ❤️
Awesome recoil buffer in the stock that's a powerful round their firing.
+TheTruthQuest123 lol, right?
7.62x51mm is more powerful than 5.56mm, but it's still a medium power round.
Not really
Its on a tripod. The recoils light.
Very nice video
Music To My Ears
I took a American t-shirt..dahm 🤣😭😂 the heat got 1000🌹🥀
Sound of gunshot is so satisfying
Not much double "tap " going on there 😂 The British Army
Each bullet is a curse on a Paladin
I❤Amerika&England👍👍👍
0:40 when teacher gives home work
That's a M240L, still a good video though.
+RIGGARD Thanks!
thats literatelly what the video says
+Alex Padilla he had to edit it
the M240B weights like 30 pounds imagine carrying that plus 70 pounds of gear on u in the heat holy hell
Nathan Thompson its 26 pounds
I love this sound.
Me too!
beautifulgun
Very finest refreshing sounds
Nice BFA on your thumbnail.
I need 1 of those to buy
This is the most American thing I’ve every heard. USA! USA! USA! USA!
Lulz welcome to the 50s german engineering murrkah.
does anyone know what kind of gun is being used in the background
I don't want blood, I won't tell the Devil to go go away.
12'0 clock, 200 mts, 2 enemies in open... 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000
Very nice! Make it rock
ah, now that's what I call ASMR
لو كان العرب المسلمون على طاعة الله و ما كانو بعبيد لأمريكا و كانت لهم مثل هذه الاسلحة لكانوا قد احتلوا كل العالم لان هذه الاسلحة متطورة صحيح و لكن بأيدي جبناء يخافون الموت بل يخافون من ظلهم ،،
اكيد والله
The 240 is a 1950s weapon. Stfu.
this is real asmr
imagine picking all that brass out of the rocks
PKM THE BEST OF THE WORLD
Nope, MG42
صوتهه يردالروح 🇮🇶❤❤❤
Literally 8 year laters...!!
"Monstrously powerful"?
It`s 7.62...
Andrew Dubya ya but still fuck you up in a millisecond
Andrew Dubya about 15 bullets per second is what counts
Because 7.62x51mm is such a low powered round.
Memories ..
Taking gunfire without ear protection can damage hearing. The sound is 135DB
Ur not always gonna wear them in the army
Apparently Stephen Paddock did not have ear protection in Vegas and they did not say he sustained hearing loss on the autopsy. Something’s not right
Anyone know if units deploying right now are given these as priority, similar to what they were doing with the Mk48 with troops going to Afghanistan
The m240 is and has been the standard platoon gpmg for over 20 years.
A machine gunner must swing to fight.
,,,,
Very great undemodable MG.
I have use one in my military duty... in 1985 (Belgium).
❤❤❤
Awesome, greets from western Berlin.
I love gun and powder! I can smell it from here!
Very good sir
Can this guns shoot target over 800meters?
Sorry if this is a "dumb question" but I'm asking in all sincerity....why does the military need machine guns?
Can't they be just as effective with semi-automatic weapons?
Clearly you never studdied WW1 history. You can't surpress the enemy nearly as well nor deal nearly as many casualties with a semi automatic rifle as a machinegun. This is why militaries use them.
The target is invisible in the jungle, the guerrilla or the Vietcon ?
Lovely AIJAZ made for each other
This is what Ramirez had?
Shooting bullets from guns is my speciality is if they would allow me to enrolled in the army or military or marines or Air force.
This video is so amazing so good
