Figure 1-8 M240G Machine Gun

A similar version of the M240, the M240G is the standard U.S. Marine Corps medium machine gun. The Marine Corps has replaced the M60E3 with the M240G. The M240 allows for commonality throughout the Marine Corps, whether the weapon is used in an infantry, vehicular, or airborne role. The M240G is the ground version of the original M240 or M240E1, 7.62mm medium class weapon designed as a co-axial/pintle- mounted machine gun for Tanks and LAVs. The M240G can be modified for ground use by the installation of an "infantry modification kit," (a flash suppressor, front sight, carrying handle for the barrel, a buttstock, infantry-length pistol grip, bipod, and rear- sight assembly). The 240G lacks a front heat guard and is few pounds lighter at 25.6 pounds than the M240B, refer to Figure 1-8.
