Man, you do NOT want to be in the open downrange from a MK-19!!
We have Mk-19’s as well as M134DT’s at the office.......:o)
Jackalopes fear our security !
My brain is exploding with the thoughts of what could have been accomplished with one of those pieces 40+ years ago....
It would have certainly saved a lot of lives — and ended a lot lives more quickly and efficiently...
Actually -- it's bad mojo to be in the OPEN downrange from ANYONE with ANY kind of a weapon..........even if you can't see the ba$taxxs who MIGHT be there!
It can flat a$$ ruin a nice day....
In the "open", it could take a cautious grunt -- hours to cross a few hundred yards.... Much better to remain under the canopy and take the longer route --- or at least wait for night!
I absolutely despised the "open"......that's why I simply can't comprehend how our warriors can function in the wide open spaces of the desert.....very very spooky to this old gunt....
