    Ex- Dutch army armorer here. In the early 2000, the MoD thought it was a good idea to place the 5,56mm Minimi in the role the MAG used to fill in. They even experimented with Minimi's mounted on Leopard 2 MBT turrets.
    That didn't work out well ofcourse. In the mid 2000's, the Dutch army went to Afghanistan and within weeks, the MAG was back on group level again (like it was since 1961...).
    Recently, the tested the Minimi in 7,62mm, HK MG5 and the IWI Negev in 7,62mm to replace the MAG. Guess what happened: a new updated version of FN MAG was procured and issued... Just like 1961 again. There is simply no substitute for the FN MAG

      Doesn't the german Puma also have a 5.56 machinegun as a coax? It just doesn't seem to make sense for a heavy vehicle with good sights, stable platform and ability to carry a lot of ammo.

      "no substitute for the FN MAG" - have you heard of much lighter PK machine guns built in 7.62x51NATO?

      It’s super interesting that some people (like Americans) insist on 7.62 MGs being crew served weapons at platoon level at the lowest, while others (many Europeans) have been using 1 or 2 7.62 MGs in their infantry squads for the last 80 years. I don’t see how something like a Minime could replace the range and suppression of a MAG or MG3, and 5.56 LSWs seem even more futile.

      ​@@randomnobodovsky3692problem with those is that the PKM gets it's legendary reliability from it's unique pull out claw style feed system that's only possible with rimmed cartridges. When you fudge a rimless cartridge into the gun you take away what makes the PKM so reliable.

    That's the same version we use in the Mexican Army and Army SF since 2013
    It's been quite reliable and dependable over the years
    The only downside we've seen is that it's quite finicky on ammo choices
    We only have have 2 types of 7.62 nato on our stockpiles
    Locally SEDENA produced and Belgian ammo
    On Belgian runs great, no hiccups at all
    But it can be a pain on the nuts to run it with indigenous ammo, sometimes we have to stick to SEDENA ammo since most of the belgian stock goes to SF n' Navy SF, but conventional troops can acquire some on the batallion level from time to time depending on where we are operating
    That's about it, other than that I'd say it's a damn good system

    Back in 06, my unit got all new, still in the plastic wrap, railed M249's(MINIMI). We had the same issue with the feed paws during break in. Mine was (luckily) one of the few that didn't go down for this issue, but we had over 70% go down in one day for that issue. Once the guns got broken in though, almost everyone who had gotten issued one, swore by it and wouldn't trade it for anything else. Most contributing their M249(MINIMI) as to why they survived our deployment. I got transferred to Anti-Armor only a couple months after receiving my M249(MINIMI. When I went to Anti-Armor, our smallest MG was a M240(MAG58). So, I never shot a M249(MINIMI) after my short stint in a Line Company. I did, however, get a SHIT LOAD of experience on the M2HB(.50BMG) and the M240(MAG58).
    Once you get the MAXIMI broken in, it should run pretty well. It has a lot of issues in the Break-in period. Beat the piss out of it, replace what's broken, and then continue to beat the piss out of it until it stops breaking.

      Mk48 is still in inventory. Rangers love them because it's a legit single man system. Downside is receiver life is significantly diminished compared to the 240... But it's purpose is different. It's not meant to be defending the Fulda Gap.... It's mean for being used on the move amongst an Assault element or supporting an assault element.

    • @valgear5525
      @valgear5525  6 месяцев назад +35

      Hello Martin, I have a weak spot for RPK, of course the concept is dead by now, but where it still work well is when you have a squad, and there is no better support weapon then rpk avaliable, the gunner still can learn and perform his role well (covering, careing heavy load- 8x 45rds mags +, useing bipod etc) the guns themselves are more accurate then ak74s, stronger reciver, heavier and I believe more quality barrel- rpks were made in Molot factory, very good one. I've even seen DMR rifles made out of them, which actually kind of works as well. So yes it's obsolete gun, but you can still make it work and be effective with it

    Aww youtube deleted my comment. Terrible! You should check out the "Ironman" ammo carrying system. A flexible chute for the belt was attached to the machine gun, which then attaches to an ammo can mounted to a load carrying pack frame. There have been many different similar setups over the years, going back to the Vietnam war.

    I feel for the logistics guys having to manage the ammo situation over there. Bad enough supplying an army at war in normal conditions, now you've got scenarios where one squad needs 3 different types of 7.62 and they can't share a single round with each other because one guy has an AKM, the other has a PKM, and one dude is running a M240. Also the spare parts situation must be even worse, tank units operating Challenger 2s, Leopard 2s, and Abrams all together, similar issue for the infantry with every squad making Call of Duty look restrained with all the different types of weapons being used.
    Needless to say, if the logistics guys ain't getting laid every night and free beers wherever they go once all's said and done, then Ukraine will have failed it's troops worser than Italy did in WW2.
