Squad Automatic Weapon

The M249 SAW is a lightweight, gas-operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed. The SAW also has an alternating feeding method using 20- and 30-round M16 rifle magazines.

The preferred combat ammunition mix for the M249 is a four-ball (M855) and one-tracer (M856) mix. There are other variations of 5.56-mm ammunition available; however, the four-and-one mix allows the gunner to use the tracer-on-target (TOT) method of adjusting fire to achieve target kill.

Maximum Effective Range is 3281 feet (1000 meters) for an area target
Maximum Range is 2.23 miles

Manufactured by Fabrique Nationale Manufacturing, Inc.

Nah, no cheating here, I just remembered reading it in a thread somewhere before

Who is the only MOS that celebrates their Bday in the Corp and what day is it?

[Parker-0321]

The Drill team still uses the M1 Garand (the rifle that won the war)

but the poolee doesnt beleive this to be the correct answer.

[rproctor922]

Nice try but no
A M1 Garand is not a crew served weapon
I am looking for the one CREW SERVED weapon that is still used in combat.

[Parker-0321]

The Bayonet

Again, that would be aviation ordinance, and I was unable to figure out the day

It's O R D N A N C E babe - an ordinance is a little "rule" that a town sets up for residents

The "Ma Duece" M2 .50 Machine Gun.

As for my question on how many cooling rings are on a M224 60mm Mortar tube, it's one. The first time we took the mortars out, my gun team leader said to "go count the cooling rings on the mortar tube". They started laughing as soon as I started counting. It's one contiunous ring.
