1PWRR, isn't that first pic of an M249 SAW?
I may be wrong though.

I believe it is Joe.

Can you confirm or deny this 1PWRR?

Its a 249.

Technically only the Belgian FN version is a Minimi.
The US version is the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon
See the link here for the differences..

Is it true that the newbies to any patrol get the pleasure of lugging the GMPG or LSW around?

Our sgt said that when newbies join the battalion they get the LSW, I asked him why and he said 'Mainly because the LSW is a piece of shit and why should someone who's been in the platoon ifor 10 yearsi lug that around with him, Its like a status thing.'

No. I think i am right in thinking there are still 2 LSW's per section of 8 soldiers (1 in each 4 man brick).
