Manlet here, I was the only one that actually wanted to carry the thing around when I was conscripted. The reason I wanted to carry it is that it was the biggest gun, with the biggest bullets and highest RPM, which made it more fun to shoot than the little pea-shooters the rest carried around
Lazy explanation, and doesn't really mean anything. That assumes that the smallest gun is the most "virtuous" gun, and that the largest man should gravitate towards the smallest gun because he has "nothing to prove"
>Make shit thread, get shit answer
You could ask in qtddot, but no you have to make this thread. Also if someone is overcompensating for something doesnt mean that people that dont suffer from his problem have to go 180 in opposite direction, you know problem ->solution, no problem -> no need for solution. But seriously is most likely just army tradition
>That assumes that the smallest gun is the most "virtuous" gun
No it doesn't. The biggest and most attention grabbing gun is most appealing to the manlet, that's the only factor that matters to him. There's no hierarchy of gun virtue, because normal sized people don't view them in those terms and the manlet only cares that hes got the most impressive one. >and that the largest man should gravitate towards the smallest gun because he has "nothing to prove"
If he has nothing to prove, he will use whatever is most prudent and appropriate. How people perceive his weapon will not be a consideration to him.
Because it's easier (and more fun) to tuck a small bastard in some unsuspected looking little hole and then allow him to assfuck incoming enemies with lead at the point blank range
Manlets have their center of gravity around their thighs. It allows them to carry heavy things like war hammers or an M60 without being at risk of tipping over as they sprint
This nu-K is retarded. The original reason is because machine gunners are the first to get taken out, therefore the smaller the target, the harder he is to get hit. Not saying it's 100% effective, but that's the general logic behind it.
Give your highest casualty producing weapon to your smallest (and therefore hardest to hit) soldier.
Also, this way, the machinegunner is the slowest mover in the fireteam, so it can kinda hang back as the other dudes get into to trouble in order to see where fire is needed, instead of charging ahead of the line advance in the hands of Chad Rambo, only to lose unit cohesion and face the enemy without support.
Imagine if you have a limit of 340 pounds per soldier for traveling by air. If I give the M240 to a soldier that weighs 220 pounds, plus all his gear, I can't take that much extra ammo.
If I give it to a 140 pound lanklet soldier, I can ship a lot more ammo and extras with him on the plane.
That's the secret.
I'm 6five and had to carry it. The manlet was my simultaneous AG/AB. AG's are supposed to be considered vets but we just made him a pack mule anyway.
Manlets cant carry the 240 through forest brush without the starter belt getting tangled on every branch. Top forbid use of nutsacks for them for the lulz.
Manlets are stronger
Shorter bones=shorter muscles=more muscle density

What country friend?
Sweden, so I carried the one that OP posted actually, or the Swedish variant of it, ksp58
What was your service like? Was it enjoyable or deplorable?
>look at me im special
everyone thought you were a chode
manlet rage does wonders
Because it's hilarious.
Short people suffer less pressure on their spine while carrying heavy stuff constantly.

I'd love to lug one around and fire them for once.
Can't forget the tenderizing recoil, a real workout for the shoulder.
There are dozens of quasi-true minor reasons which don't really make sense. The fact is it's simply a military tradition at this point.
makes the gun look bigger
Because it's easier (and more fun) to tuck a small bastard in some unsuspected looking little hole and then allow him to assfuck incoming enemies with lead at the point blank range
Dwarves are short and strong and machine gun lets them get rid of grudges
we had a literal midget just a bit taller than it carry one
literally me. I had the nickname of rambo because I was insane with the thing. Perhaps manlet rage is a thing after all
Machine guns are best served with manlet rage
>RPG Missile inside a machine gun
Is this something I'm too zoomer to understand?
Yes, because that's a grenade not a missile.
>rocket propelled grenade missile

So uh how small would be considered a manlet in the average army squad?
I volunteered
>t. 5'5
because giving the heaviest load to the smallest man will make him take any excuse to lighten it at cyclic rate
Because funni

looks like the old k was retarded too then

Funny
Look at how fast manlets make gains as gym newbs on deadlift, squat, etc. compared to lanklets and you'll understand why
It's funny. Any other answer is retarded copium pulled straight out of people's asses.

Manlet here. Carried one of those fuckers in a "light" line company for a year before promoting.
240L is love. 240L is life.
Forgot a picture. Carried the SAW for a year before the 240L. SAWs are such shit weapons.
>tiny hobbit boots
I believe you
I sat around long enough looking at boots while doing nothing to recognize them
SAWs are based, your too fat and retarded to maintain and lay the scunion with it unfortunately
because the biggest guy has to carry the M2 and it's like karma than everyone should suffer equally.

Your first sausage is right, you can’t link into a starter belt in a drum
I read one CO always had the smallest guys on it because they could hide behind it when suppressing so as to not get ventilated right away
