Not when you need to shoot through brick and mortar.
The M240s and M249s are usually mounted on the vehicles issued to supporting arms units and military police who don't often get heavy machine-guns in their TO&E. M240s are also seen as backup weapons on HMMWV TOW carriers, since the MG mount is on the opposite side of the ring as the TOW mount.

I'd like to see it too, but have no idea how or if it could be coded; extra seat that only the gunner can switch to, a toggle like the left/right firing ports in the BRDM-2?

Eddie's got a point there; the HMMWV's with the M240 are also not as sturdily armored as the latest M1151 and M1152 Up-armored HMMWV’s. These HMMWV’s are usually given to air force to guard against incoming threats and not to engage in high risk situations which might involve such threats as RPG’s or IED’s. It is for this reason the air force is given the older Up-armored kits which provide less armor and a smaller caliber machine gun. The M1152 having a heaver M2 machine gun with improved armor and survival system is used in urban areas where these features are required.

Yep. Most Air Force Security Forces troops are doing convoy defense/security and base defense/setup.

Sixth person can cling onto the side ^^

I think since theres a better Vodnik out, a crows mounted hmmwv will be so much more desirable

It's basically finished, just sitting there waiting to be unwrapped for texturing. If I get the time I'll do it myself one of these days, but if I don't get on that task soon I'll ask someone else who'd be interested.

That is not the latest M1151/M1152 Up-armored HMMWV used by the US Military. To my knowledge the HMMWV in that attached image is a prototype.
