What is the maximum range when the 240B is mounted on a point tripod?

• A. 600m
• B. 700m
• C. 800m
• D. 900m

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how the firing platform affects how far you can reliably engage a target. A point tripod stabilizes the M240B and allows precise elevation and aiming, which extends the practical range for a single, well-aimed hit on a small target. For this setup, doctrine and training specify about 800 meters as the maximum distance at which you can effectively engage a point target with a steady, accurate shot. Ballistic drop, sight limitations, and the need for a precise aim mean you won’t reliably hit a small target much beyond that, even though the weapon’s ballistics technically allow shots farther. So 800 meters is the practical ceiling for a point target when the M240B is mounted on a point tripod.
