What is the maximum range of the M240B when engaging a point target with the tripod?

• A. 600m
• B. 400m
• C. 800m
• D. 1000m

Answer: (C)

Engaging a point target from a fixed, stable platform like a tripod lets you maintain accuracy farther than with a less stable setup. For the M240B, the maximum effective range you can reliably hit a small, point-sized target when mounted on a tripod is 800 meters. Beyond that distance, the probability of a precise hit on a point target drops too much to be considered effective, even though the weapon can still fire at much longer ranges. The other distances are either shorter limits tied to less stable configurations (like a bipod or unsupported fire) or exceed the practical limit for a point target on a tripod.
