> [@dropzone](#): > > What does the Israeli army use, besides not something derived from a Wehrmacht weapon? The FN-MAG/M-240, which is the same machine gun the U.S. military now uses. Even though they use the same ammo, weigh basically the same, and were developed at around the same time, the M-240 is a solid, reliable weapon, and the M-60… isn’t. It took them a while, but the Americans were smart enough to eventualy realize their mistake and change to something better.
