OOW240 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG)

The current issue US military general purpose machine gun, the 240, is a belt-fed, air-cooled, crew served machine gun system capable of sustained and accurate suppressive fire that’s far more reliable than its predecessor, the M60.

The United States Armed Forces have been using variants of the 240 since the mid-1980s. It was first used in a vehicle/coaxial role, but was so popular it was quickly adopted by the infantries of both the United States Marines and the United States Army during the 1990’s.

The OOW240 has proven to be more durable in tests and in the field than the M60. It fires the NATO 7.62mm round with the standardization offering unique benefits in terms of training, logistics and joint operations.

Improvements in the OOW barrel manufacturing process have increased the life of the OOW240 barrel to over 20,000 rounds.
