Re: STONER
The Stoner machine gun was an idea ahead of it's time. That niche, light machine gun firing the same round as the M-16 is now filled by the M249 "S.A.W." with U.S. forces.

Re: STONER
Stoner was way lighter and had slower ROF.
SAW is nearly twice the weight and has better ROF. good trade off, if you ask me, if you can hump all the ammo lol loaded SAW+extra barrel= 30lb +600rds Last edited by MOS0311; 02-07-2008 at 01:09 PM.. |
