PCA Youngster Spring Practice Test

What is the maximum range of the M240B Medium Machine Gun?

3725m 1800m 2500m 5000m

Correct Answer:

3725m

Explanation:

Ballistic range limits determine how far a bullet can travel before it hits the ground. For the M240B firing a 7.62x51mm NATO round, that maximum distance is about 3,725 meters. This is the furthest the bullet could travel in a theoretical trajectory, ignoring terrain or obstacles. The other numbers reflect practical engagement ranges you’d use in combat, where factors like trajectory, wind, and visual sighting reduce effective hitting distance. So the farthest the round can travel is around 3.7 kilometers, making that option the best match.
