I know it's kind of a no-brainer, but you may want to specify that was Afghanistan.

He's carrying an M249 SAW(Squad Automatic Weapon), which is accurate out to 1200 meters. With that scope, he was likely covering out to the second hill in the background.

I forget, what caliber is the M249? I want to say it's 7.62mm, but I'm prolly wrong :3

There's really only the two choices, 7.62 or 5.56 :3

The 240B uses 7.62, personally, I prefer .50 or 20mm.

20mm would be overkill... .50 BMG is good enough. Plus 7.62 is a man stopper no doubt and with the right barrel length, twist rate, bullet weight and design the 5.56 is also a pretty decent man stopper
