Bulldog Tactical 240 Assistant Gunner (AG) Kits

The Bulldog Tactical 240 Assistant Gunner (AG) Kit is a comprehensive tactical load-bearing system designed for military personnel supporting the M240B machine gun system. It includes a heavy-duty aircraft aluminum rail frame with 100% weld construction and MOLLE compatibility, paired with custom-designed extra-long and extra-thick shoulder straps and a tapered waist belt to optimize load distribution during extended operations. The kit integrates multiple specialized pouches and bags: a 1.5-ounce hydration pouch for a 100-ounce bladder, an ultra-light accessory pouch for supplementary gear, a jacket pouch for the Level 7 cold weather puffy jacket, a thermally lined spare barrel quiver and bag to safely carry and store a hot spare barrel while also accommodating tripods and mounts, and two reinforced 500-round ammo bags featuring a patented feed bracket for continuous ammunition supply, each mountable to the rail frame or used independently with shoulder straps. A 2-day assault backpack with approximately 1500 cubic inches of capacity is included to be mounted over the ammo bags, providing additional storage for mission essentials. The kit is completed with a modified M249/M240B weapon sling for improved weapon handling and control. All components are specified with precise SKUs and weight ratings to ensure compatibility, durability, and operational readiness under demanding conditions.
