How you convert a semi 134 🤣
Sorry I didn't quote this correctly... lol We (a friend was the SOT) converted a M240 when I lived in Reno several years ago.
.......
Converted a FA to semi?
No a semi to Full Auto...

No..here is the correct answer...
$10K less than the M2 and the ammo is 6 rounds to 1 round....and you can pretty much shoot it anywhere.

At one time or another in my life I "carried" each of them as well as the M249. Yes - the M2 was, at the time, considered "man portable" and since I was the big fella I got assigned as the gunner - and got to "carry" the 76lb receiver... Luckily this essentially always meant carrying it from the armory to the Humvee or 5 ton...

The two big wins with the M2 were:
1) More rounds than most through an M2...
2) Less time stuck in the drudgery of cleaning the M-16... :-)

I get where you are coming from... and can't argue against you with "facts..." but for me - there is just something majestic about the M2... and if I could own only an M2 or an M60 - I'd have to side with the M2. I'd take either one over an M249.

Three years ago there was a guy at the Reno gun show selling his 50bmg machine gun for $17,000 I was tempted to buy it but decided I really didn't want to spend that much on ammo. The full autos I have are a lot cheaper to shoot.

What you can sell the gun for today...
Would buy a lot of ammo.
