M60. Man I loved it once I learned how to keep it running. The SAW was cool, but nothing was cooler then the opening up with the pig and changing how that TIC played out
🔫 Talk them guns, good stuff brother!!! I like the 240 more than the SAW/ Mk48, but my two favorite Belt Fed platforms are the MG3 and the PKM alongside the 240.
My personal favorite is actually also the lightest machine gun of all time. It's a shame the NFA regulates them because I hear they're super fun to shoot. I'm talking, of course, about the tried-and-true shoelace tied into a knot. The only machinegun to clock in at under a single ounce. Truly a marvel of engineering.
The amount of effort it took to youtube censor round count off is impeccable. Machine gun theory gets overlooked average joe has no clue how much goes into effective support fire . Also 240B, M134, Mk19 outside of US KPV
I'm not infantry, hell, I'm not even active duty. I'm just some NG dude who was assigned a SAW and wants to know more on how to employ it. Killer content, it answered a lot of questions I had. I've always thought that if I could own just one machine gun, I'd want either a M240 or a MG3.
favorite machine gun is the mp5 for sure. I remember replacing a lot of feed pawl springs for both the 249 and 240 when I was in, easy but interesting how they kept getting lost or breaking when the teams would use them. never got to shoot either but would've love to. still got some time in the IRR so who knows lol
I remember when we swapped out 240Bs for 240Ls, and that was a major upgrade in terms of weight. I’ve been in the Army 16 years as both Infantry and FA, and this video is probably one of the better breakdowns of MG theory I’ve seen. Great work! I’m always looking for good RUclips videos to add value to training, so this is fantastic. This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and you definitely earned a “like” and a subscribe.
I was reading a book of a German machine gunner on the Eastern Front and He mentioned to have your gun barrel no more than the width of a hand above the dirt so you don't get smoked. He also said to have two pits, one on either side of the gun. These are for individual sleeping locations but also if a grenade gets chucked in you kick it to one side or there other. Steel case for long range and brass for up close, Steel had more malfunctions.
I believe its "Until the Eyes Shut" memories of a machine gunner on the eastern front 1943-45 written by Andreas Hartinger another good one is "Blood Red Snow" by Gunter K. Koschorrek @@henrydillard6217
Sadly, there aren't enough 240s out there, though there are probably quite a few 1919s out there.😜 The PPSH 41 and PPS 43 are both fantastic smgs, the 41 with a well running drum can be quite the cqb weapon, and 43 kits are VERY cheap right now. I will ALWAYS love the Ma Duce, as long as I don't have to pay for the ammo, though I do have a special place in my heart for a FN FAL with a 30 rd mag and a Halbeck device!
@@jaybot7813, the PPSH-41 is chambered in 7.62x25 Tokarev, and Russia made some VERY hot, (++P++), ammo for it, much of it armor piercing, the drums for them have a 71 round capacity and it has a incredibly high rate of fire. Clears rooms VERY quickly. 😁
@@jaybot7813, PPS 43 parts kits, they're cheap right now and are a fairly easy parts kit build, they're easy to turn into semiauto, and are a blast to shoot.
I'm just an old school M81 Woodland wearin, 240B loving, C130 jumpin, 11 bang bang. I was an AG for an AT team in Batt. Our weapon system was the Goose. A bad bitch with a helluva backblast. And yes, the senior man on each gun team was the gunner. 1/75 RLTW!!
The only real divergence I’ve seen, is our MG teams immediately set the gun. It was part of the bounding drill for us. AG sets tripod, rolls away from the tripod, fires or pulls security. Gunner bounds forward until he lands with the 240 beside the tripod on the AG side, in a position that is perpindicular to the pintle hole in the tripod, with the feed side pointed at the dirt. This helps kick the starter belt off the top of the MG. He then twists the gun 90 degrees locking the gun into the tripod, with the AG owning the Pintle after he ensures the gun is locked. So I don’t personally see the point of the fire command system for setting in the tripod. We were always taught to get the tripod down if you can. I know you’re full by the book right now though. And I will add the caveat that we were a unit that came from not having weapon squads to having weapon squads and our gun teams were more autonomous still and running off the system that the PL or PSG was gonna control us so we had better be in the best position. I LOVE the AG owning the PEQ. We never thought to do that. Just the benefits from having the ROE don’t fire until I hit that laser.
Dont know anything about, or how to start a Patreaon but im going to for Trench. I dont always agree with everything and my favorite channels are GT and 1911 Syndicate just for the production and entertainment but nobody is cranking out actual, detailed, basics from the actual source like Trench. He's hanging it there for us and US in multiple ways. Everyone should understand the gravity of what hes doing and the risk. If you havent done this stuff professionally, or like me, not for decades, you should be taking notes or backing these videos up some way because there are multiple ways that they could be gone. If youve got the spare 5 bucks a month, throw down because he really deserves it for what hes doing.
Great instruction SFC. I have mad respect for drill Sgt's. I didn't on my first day of basic in 98, but i have been to combat and realize your training in action. i remembered the names and faces of mine. You got my support. Hooah
1st would be the M60, but not the E3 version, barrels were to light and heated up to fast, M2 was great but sucked if you had to hump it to a location. And despite all those who say the M60 was prone to jamb. That's typically user error, if you fired to short a burst it could jamb other wise it was a great gun
Did ground combat school at camp bullis. Only thing better than qual on the law / claymore was humping that heavy b%^ch on a ruck and letting it loose to point you had to hot swap the barrel :). I’ve been out (security forces for af) 25 yrs now but still mad respect for Army cadre we had teaching us from 75th. Great content!
A machine gun is a gun that fires manly cartridges automatically (a.k.a 5.56 and higher) so ppsh doesn't land in machine gun area. It is a machine pistol.
Happy new year broham! My devil dogs tried to edumacate me on the SAW, but these hands were meant for saving bodies, not reloading lol. So I know jack shit about them, just that I don't want to carry em and the fucking magazine adapters are shit in them. I'll stick with a rifle, even if a mad minute on one would be a hell of a take off lol

Its been over 20 years plus since I fired an M240 & M60 and Browning 50 cal. Good video.
Trench I love the gear and shooting videos, but the battle drill and tactics videos fill a completely unique spot on youtube. Keep up the good work!
The 240B absolutely slaps. Theres gotta be some high speed private using these videos to study.
I trained on the M60 in basic, but carried an M240B as an infantryman back in the 90's. M240B is hands down the favorite.

The triple pit advice is gold. The Germans were pioneers in machine guns and their tactics.

Sig rattler build 300blk or Romanian pm90
M4a1
M16a1
M16 lmg build
The short saw with the comfy stock
240l
Just wish we could have machine guns.
We can, you just need to find a seller pay him $10,000 and pay the $200 ATF Tax Stamp.
You can! Just buy it "illegally" for 8k!
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED UPON.
Barney Style!!! Lets gooo!!!! RPK!
Pro tip: write a script and get a mic. Other than that, solid.
Love your videos sir!
Impressive knowledge. Excellent content
Thanks for the Content!! Mine would probably be an RPK or a AR/M27 "RPK" type of build because its cost effective!
Red Right hand and Small Team Supply/Klien Manufacturing...they make uppers for AR/RPK builds.
This was my favorite part of weapons company. The only expert badge I ever got was machinegun 😂
"we have garand thumb at home"
I like the way you talk.
Wishing I had a 240 since I was in high school😂
Also saws 🪚 are cool , never had the opportunity to fire one.
What do you think of binary triggers and f r t triggers for actual combat?
Based on price, and availability these need to become the new Minecraft hometown standard.
I can't pick just one. My two favorite are m1919 and PKM
Would all members of squad utilize the same cache? Or would everyone have their own? How many caches would one have in Minecraft?
M60, especially the Dutch version.
Danish
249 para, for the vibes of pulling a short machine gun out the passenger seat. Realistically though a PKM
Rifleman video next !
Thank you. I wonder if anyone makes LR 308 drum mags.. going to have to look into that.
Update: yes, there's 40rnd mags, 50rnd drums, and 100rnd drums for 7.62/308
5:09 100% he will talk grazing fire and beaten zone
Heat cat Joe's on emplacement drills
My favorite machine gun I've shot is the M2 Browning favorite i haven't shot is the BAR
DP 27/28 is a cool machine.
Is the m 19 considered a machine gun if so thats the one i want but i will also need something to mount it on. Lol
Next lesson formations & hand signals
You have a good dog!
IWI Negev is my favorite MG however the m249 para is a close second. Happy New Year Trench!!
the Negev 7.62 or Ultimax. No, the HK21...or PKM
Never fired a machine gun but I love the m60
I have next to no exp with MGs. But I have always likes the M249 and the Stoner 63.
My favorite has to be the HK21
When does WROL start in Minecraft? Seems overdue since about 1992. Or 1942. or 1913.

Is it still used that way?
Bad ass video! 💯👍
Stoner 63 is my favorite #2 is the rpd. Stoner wins out by a little for the weight,
