Saw this pic posted as part of a Reuters article and didn't recognize the weapon. Looked it up - looks like a useful little tool.

those are gargantuans.
I bet those men and women are mighty proud to carry one of those.
How much do they weigh?

Around 12-13 lbs, I think, they mention the empty/loaded weights in the video.

Looks EXACTLY like one of the weapons used in the first Predator movie. I'll bet it is, too.

You've spurred me to search for this
three-round M79 I saw once in Nam. Don't know why it didn't catch on.
