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

• A. 800m
• B. 600m
• C. 400m
• D. 1200m

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how far you can reliably place rounds on a small, defined target when you’re using the M240B from a bipod. From a supported, bipod setup, the weapon’s ballistic performance lets you maintain a high probability of a hit on a point target out to about 600 meters. Beyond that distance, the combination of bullet drop, wind drift, and sight adjustment requirements reduces accuracy enough that hits on a small target become unlikely. Using a tripod instead of a bipod improves stability and lets you extend effective range to about 800 meters for a point target, but with just the bipod you’re limited to roughly 600 meters. The other distances are either too short to reflect the practical maximum for this setup or exceed what you can reliably hit on a small target with the bipod.
