Originally, I wanted to post this in "military bubbas", but being that I'm not a veteran, I dare not tread on sacred ground.
Based on my brief research, it seems like both are categorized as "general purpose" machine guns, but the 240 was specifically meant to be mounted (to a humvee or tank), hence the bulkier design?
Maybe someone can tell me the relationship between the two? Did 240 steal the m60's limelight or was it viewed as having a completely different role?
