And they all have to give you the ammo before you can fire it all off so by the time thats happened the vehicle has spooted you and your squad and your all dead or dying. > IF i am on a recon assignment and i come a across an open field > with 1000 troops in movement.

And anyway what dumbass would have 1000 men travelling across and open field, not to mention if you were on a recon assignment you wouldnt be luggin around a minigun youd probably have an assault rifle, for mobility. > it is my understanding that every single firearms being used in > all branches of the US Military are always being examined and > 'upgrade' for lack of a better word. > how many seals do you know, i'll make sure to ask next time > we're having a beer. > they carry any damned thing they please, remember, we're talking > about seals. not wanna be JROTC in middle school. No offence but you dont know much about the seals do you? they do carry M60s and M240Gs and they are trained to fire them standing as well but no fool other than you is gonna opt to fire from the hip when he can fire from the shoulder. unless they are falling back in which case youd be pretty screwed trying to fall back with 50lbs of minigun and ammo. > have you been to SF training, and have you ( wait let me guess you are a navy seal with 15 years experience and you fought in nam and did black ops to china :o) Jerry's Final Thought: "Its not really important, its just a god damn game. Who really gives a shit if you have a minigun or not? Not Bothered
