MK 19, yeah that's the one. I'll carry the weapon if some one else carries the tripod. Oh, I guess we'd need about 1,00 HE rounds too.

I'll carry the weapon if some one else carries the tripod

um… you might want a few more people to assist if you plan to stay in the fight for long…

M430 HEDP, high explosive dual purpose
1 Yellow arch and markings
2 Arming distance: 18-36 meters
3 Effective Casualty Radius: 15 meters
4 48 rounds per container
5 59.5 lbs per container
CAUTION: Ammunition for the MK19 and M203 is NOT interchangeable!

HEDP is the only round I saw in hot zones. The ‘Dual Purpose’ means that the round not only fragments creating a 15 meter effective casualty radius, but it also has a shaped charge that can punch a hole into anything short of a main battle tank. At 60 pounds per can, EVERYONE is gonna get real strong real quick keeping up with you on the battlefield.

Loved firing the ‘Mark 19’; the low muzzle velocity meant you could eyeball the round from muzzle to impact (well, out to several hundred meters, anyway...). A good 8 to 10 round burst made for some serious suppressive fire since the ’19 was not held tight in the AAV weapons carriage, allowing it to ‘dance’ and achieve a nice beaten zone down range.

Anyway, count me in as long as my side arm is the M1911A1 and not the M9 9mm.....

Britney Spears and Madonna. With their hardware who needs weapons.
The enemy would even empty their GUNS by hand, and give up without a fight.

I've got to remember to read the instructions more carefully. Okay, here I go again...

If I were limited to ONE firearm to carry into battle, it would be the M-14 w/selector switch and bipods. I would find a way to carry a double load (14) of magazines to feed it. I was an AR man for most of my first combat tour. I could make her sing and dance. The bullet could punch through small saplings and other thick objects.

Yup, thats the ticket for me.
