Jeff White:

Yes, I was thinking penetration through hard cover with the M-14s.

I agree 2 men can't carry much ammo for the 240G if its a really hostile day, (Somalia?) but hopefully extra ammo would be in the APC.

This is all theoretical of course. Best thing might be train all the grunts in my visionary army in all the available small arms I list, then let them pick what they want for the mission.

I read about a 17-man SAS patrol in the Falklands that had like 8-10 FN MAGs. For a brief while they could really open a can of
whup*ss on any Argies they ran into.
