What is the maximum range of the M240B when engaging an area target with the tripod?

• A. 2000m
• B. 1800m
• C. 1200m
• D. 600m

Answer: (B)

When you put the M240B on a tripod, you’re maximizing stability and control, which lets you deliver accurate fire over longer distances to an area target. The farthest distance at which you can reliably suppress or affect an area target with that setup is 1,800 meters. Beyond that, the dispersion and bullet drop reduce accuracy and effectiveness, so 1,800 meters is the practical ceiling for area-target fire with the tripod. The other distances either exceed that practical limit or are simply shorter than the maximum you can effectively reach with stable tripod-mounted fire.
