Bet it`d impress the heck out of any evil
doers downrange from that bad boy.

That weapons gotta be a real task to haul
around not to mention the ammo guys loads
and tripod

Baddest thing I ever fired was a quad 50 and that
thing scared the ***t outta me

Not to mention these things draw fire

Your right they do draw fire and for some reason the Army still does not buy gun shields for anything. It took a long time to even get them for mechanized stuff.

I can understand drawing fire, especially if I were tasked to take a flanking position.

Makes you kind of wonder if this could be remotely operated or worked unmanned.

It is heavy and piss poor on mobility, unless it i vehicle mounted. The MK19 is not a stand alone weapon but it does wonders a a force enhancer. BTW, it will only draw fire from those you missed.
