Design details
The M247T is one of the most common variants of the M247 machine gun.[3] The M247T is fitted with a retractable metal shield near the rear of its barrel to protect the user. The M808C Scorpion uses a pintle-mounted M247T with a dedicated operator's compartment near the front of the vehicle.[4][1] The M850 Grizzly uses a coaxially mounted M247T which aligns with the main cannons.[5] Some Grizzlies also feature a pintle-mounted M247T in front of the main turret hatch.[6]
The machine gun is effective at eliminating infantry and protecting battle tanks from personnel threats. The M247T Medium Machine Gun is chambered for the ubiquitous M118 7.62×51mm FMJ AP cartridge.[4][1]
