What kind of gun is on this boat?

Dunno.. 20mm - 30mm.. personally I put a 50 or a m184 on that... it should be on coast guard's site

I'm just glad to see these guys running around SJPR with the warnings about piracy.

It's probably something like a Browning 30 cal light machine gun or maybe a 7.62mm M60. I doubt they put 50 cals on those things, but I'm far from an expert.

I'm thinking M60. Not sure which variant, though.

looks like the m60 to me. belt fed 7.62mm goodness.

I think that's an M60, but the boat itself looks like one of the newer 47-foot motor life boats. Those things are pretty sweet and are designed to be virtually unsinkable. They are self righting and self bailing.

They are usually used for S&R, so I'm surprised to see one with a weapon.

Yes they are rugged. I took some video too with my SD20. It didn't appear to be handling the conditions too well but then again at 92,000 tons we throw a pretty good bow wave and the seas were confused too. :Q

that or the version replacing it, the M249 SAW (5.56mm). they look pretty similar from afar.

yep that is a SAW....... too bad it is not a 50 cal

I want one on my car

[pavester]

m60 not a m249 , you can see the longer barrel as a trademark of the m60. I actually dont think the coast guard uses the saw yet

 

[swtethan]

thats a water tank

What's the advantage of the M60 over a 50cal for this ship? Wouldn't a 50 tear up another vessel easier?

More ammo? Possibly a higher ROF as well..not sure on that one, though.
