LSAT Light Machine Gun Test Fire Demonstration

Soldiers and U.S. Army civilians test fired a new lighter machine gun called the LSAT at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., June 24. The new weapon is designed to replace light machine guns, such as M249 and M240. LSAT with 600 rounds of ammunition will weigh 23.8 pounds, representing 38% reduction from the current 38.3 pounds.
