Those systems aren't exclusive to infantry units, and many line support units have them, as well. You can ask to be assigned to those weapons systems, but, especially in the case of the 240, you'll have to get some experience and demonstrate some proficiency with it. In a line unit, for a 240, you'll typically have to start off as an ammo bearer or assistant gunner, then work your way to the 240. For the M249 (SAW), it tends to be more luck of the draw. Do a 25 miler, and you won't be so crazy about either system, I can guarantee you that.

What is a SAW gunner?
A SAW gunner refers to a soldier who operates the Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), a light machine gun used by the U.S. military and other armed forces. The SAW is designed to provide a high volume of fire to support infantry units, offering a balance of portability and firepower. The gunner is responsible for maneuvering with the weapon, maintaining it, and effectively delivering suppressive fire during combat operations. Their role is crucial in enhancing the squad's fire support capabilities and overall effectiveness on the battlefield.

Can you replace the 240v plug on my 240v mitre saw with a 110v plug and run it off a 110v transformer?
Changing the plug will not change the power needed to run the saw. If the saw has a dual voltage motor then a wiring change can be done to switch the saw from 240 to 110 volts. If it is not a dual voltage system then the saw must be fed with 220 volts.
