I'm told that miniguns still exist, but only authorised for special purpose use.
*???*

The Steyr was already illegal when I signed up, so we didn't get to play with those, which was insane but made sense to someone somewhere.
And the MP5 was only authorised for everyone but us it seemed.
We ALMOST didn't get the M-249 SAWs we WERE authorised.
Someone said "You have the M-60, whaddya need the other MG's for?"
Catch was, most of our 60's didn't work due to broken or missing parts, and when we requested replacement parts we were told 'no dice'.
We had 8 M-60's, and only three worked.

Never got to check out the M-240 either.
My unit wasn't authorised those.

That reminds me of our Mk19s going to the French in Chad :(
