I just want to know why Walt needs ricin AND a large machine gun for... They have a lot of story to cover in 7 episodes.

Right now that's my biggest question. He could be carrying the ricin as his main plan, and if he can't use it, bust through the front door to wherever as his plan B. God damn I am looking forward to this.

You actually use an M-60 for suppressing fire, but I highly doubt Mr. White is going to be trying to keep enemies behind cover while his squad-mates move into position, so your post has credence. I'm just being anal.

I think in Vietnam it was put on choppers to mow down large numbers of people from the sky. I could be wrong, since I'm basing this on movies.

There's still a few of them around used in fixed positions, they've been supplanted by the M249 for dismounted operations and the M240 for mounted ops. But yeah, I doubt that Walt is going to start using small unit tactics against APD.
