These are easily the overall greatest content series for Insurgency on the tubes. Your editing and humor are top notch. I know they take forever, but your effort truly shows and the quality shines.
I fucking love the m240b, i work on these almost everyday and for what the marines put them through on a daily basis they rarely break. when they do break its extremely simple to fix them.
The gas regulator is still there on the dismounted version it’s that weird looking knob underneath the barrel. That gun also works way better on setting 2 or 3 setting 1 is the fastest way to get a stoppage
I’ve never fired a 240 but the FN MAG has a full travel gas regulator. It winds all the way out/in but only the last nine clicks will successfully cycle the action. All the way in makes it sound like an MG42. Nine clicks out is an intoxicatingly perfect industrial drumbeat. Feels somewhere between 500 and 600 rpm.
@@d_prac my only experience is with the C6 and setting 3 also sounds like a mg42 and setting 1 definitely sounds like a drum. Setting 2 is the best setting imo
I usually rock the heavy carrier for both demolition and gunner only. As you can get 3 box magazines with gunner (which you should as your job is to suppress) and for demolition, it gives two rockets if you have launcher, plus option for under-barrel grenade launcher (you should be using as no other class can), which also gives you an extra explosive, very useful. I don’t think it’s necessary for most other classes and the weight reductions plus points for other areas is the way to go
After 700hs in the game, learning to control the recoil without a bipod and efficiently hip-fire this gun, is the most fun I've had in Sandstorm. Slams the shit outta those kids bro
@@anthonyshanaman5637 I can just plug my controller in PC to check it out... And I won't have a shittier version of the game with less content like console LMAO
It's one of the best run and gun gunner weapons. I put a laser on it before I put a optic on to hip fire through the smaller maps on Dom. It saves some time you lose with the open bolt.
Back in Insurgency 1 where (the only belt-fed) M249 had way too much recoil, I’d prefer the laser to be able to point-shoot without aiming with the bipod deployed, or hip-fire in a pinch.
My guy your funny af you made me re buy sand storm 🤣 when i need to convince someone to buy sand storm i just send them your way after 2-4 videos they watch they are already downloading it
I don't know if we are even getting an update anytime soon but I play this game because it came out on Xbox so its more accessible and I love guns and this game has satisfying gunplay with a super fast tim to kill Guns I want to see in this game RPK 47 and 74 M27 IAR M1014 Saiga 12 RPD U100 ultimax Tabuk or an M70 in 8mm PSG 1 or G3SG1 Just guns I'd like to see because I think they are cool
Not used as a rifle squad level asset in the US. They are consolidated into their owns weapons squad to be employed as needed by the platoon. The 249 fulfills the squad level requirement for machinegun go brrrt
Hey Snipes, I just stumbled across your content and I really enjoy it! I think you should continue to make Sandstorm videos. I find them very useful as a new player as well as enjoyable just to watch. Gun guides is a great series. 👍🏻
Personally I think the better choice is the 249 bc of the 200rnds and plus in modes like push it’s better to have the faster fire rate for spray transfers since you’ve got more congested areas with larger groups of people
I never understood why people take armor. Even while wearing the heavier set, you still get one shot by nearly everything. So I ditch it for free points
I would use the QBZ 97 for insurgent riflemen and G36 for security riflemen. These both have very good value and cheap attachments. Either MP5 for breacher class they are very accurate and have very good range with little recoil, the mk18 CQBR and Alpha AK for advisor (really low recoil and good damage), the M24 and Mosin for marksmen, and the M249 SAW and PKM for gunners.
1:15 are you talking about the mg3 or mg5 here, because if you meant the mg3, the manufacturer is Rheinmetall, if youre talking about the Mg5, its worth it.
I hope NWI starts updating the game again because there have been a lot of persistent bugs plaguing the game for a minute - Such as things related to player collision, impacts and particles, jumping, running acceleration, the user interface, etc. Was super into this shit for a minute but I hardly play it now, I wish they'd bring back the OG Insurgency maps and implement more customization options for the guns themselves instead of all these skins and purchasable cosmetics... CO-OP AI could use some work too, maybe some actual organized units instead of dudes that just run out into the open and start firing in any given direction they detect movement. More focus on CQB type elements could be fun too, recently I hardly ever see anyone working together to clear off a tight street or closed building - Just pure running and gunning or people camping in the corner with a shotgun. I like to feel like I'm playing something that is tactical and hardcore, not CoD on... well... Hardcore mode.
I like this gun, but i don't find it super consistent with one shots. The PKM is more consistent against limbs but loses a bit of consistency against armor at range, but 7,62x51 AP can be inconsistent on limb shots and on certain body shots. That said, the main thing that makes me not like this gun so much is the atrocious visual recoil, especially using 4x sights. There is no way to know where you are shooting without a laser.
Machine guns need horizontal grips and Eothech machine gun sight both would be setting correct since they’re commonly set up like that by us marines and soldiers
Most of military branch in the world use gpmg like this laying prone and using the bipod, however zenitco have a canted front grip to use it with pkm and still cleared the box mag
It really wasn't. The M240 could get off up to 4 million rounds before they needed to replace it while the M60's life span could be as low as 150k rounds.

I know the Lima and the Bravo have fixed regulators. The Charlie has a 3 position but you have to pull it out to switch it.
@@andrewmohs4734 older bravos had it, but the "updated" Bs have the single setting.
@George Keith Correct. Joes beat the crap out of the guns by running them wide open when clean. Thats they went to the non-adjustable

Exactly my thinking. Makes the class much more efficient than 2 more points in accessories 💵
I use heavy carrier on Commander and radio man to get 1 of each grenade as well as extra smoke launcher because only high level player bring smoke
@@joaquimliengme4989 I only switch them for flashbangs as a breacher and if I have a smoke launcher as it already gives you 2 smokes for one credit ^^

M240B is the absolute superior GPMG, I will take no substitute
Best verb to describe the effect on those at the business end of this thing: melted
Had the opportunity to actually fire one of these bad boys. Also had the misfortune to have to deep clean like 12
The SAW but it really fucking hurts. NWI, M60 for the insurgents. I'm not asking, I'm expecting it.
Fun fact, those cloth ammo bags for the M240 and the smaller one for the M249 are nicknamed "the nutsack" in service use
This is the perfect channel to find after watching all of Ahoy's gun content, I feel damn lucky stumbling into this

240 SAW is what your looking for
Still waiting for the M60 and the M60E4
ROUND AFTER ROUND AFTER ROUND AFTER ROUND
Cried at the marine meme
They need to reduce recoil on beltfeds in Insurgency like fuck man. Like a damn near 30 pound gun isnt going to kick like that.
The M240B when the SAW isn’t enough gun and Ya need to REALLY CROSSMAP A GAMER
This guy is starting to sound like Ahoy
BRAVO TIME BABY !!
i might hit the weed i might hit da boof

I don’t see you out there in sandstorm, miss u bro and keep relaxing

Finally
Im gonna use PKM.
love the pkm more

New to sandstorm and new to your channel, I fucking love your content 👌 top tier
what gun would you guys reccomend for a 1st time sandstorm player? i like smg’s and ar’s and never played realistic game like sandstorm
I would use the QBZ 97 for insurgent riflemen and G36 for security riflemen. These both have very good value and cheap attachments.
Either MP5 for breacher class they are very accurate and have very good range with little recoil, the mk18 CQBR and Alpha AK for advisor (really low recoil and good damage), the M24 and Mosin for marksmen, and the M249 SAW and PKM for gunners.

Still using the PKM
I just have to ask what would your arms look like to let yourself be able to manhandle that heavy as MG that shit weighs around 21 pounds
I love the PKM but the Bravo is way more useable CQB if you need cuz you best know I don't have a sidearm
