BIG Toys for LSD.

Week 2 Wednesday.

We were allowed to play with some big toys. We got heavy arms training.Nothing big, we didn't even get to shoot it. Just took it apart a little. Load/Unloaded clear ect. but it was still cool to play with.

First in line were the M240 and the M249. These are sister weapons with the expection of the round each of them shoots. I was mounted on the M249 while my battle buddy took the M240.

Up next, was the MK-19. Now this is a weapon I would love to man on a HUMM-V. Kill radius of 10m, with a wound of 30m. Basically this is a rapid fire gernade launcher.

Last but not least, the bread n' butter of the army heavy arms. The Browning M2. Our .50 Caliber Fully automatic weapon. Love it!

Ma Deuce! If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Though, I must say, I would like to see a 21st century iteration of this weapon. Not so much a complete redesign, more like an upgrade. Kinda like what the HK 416 is to the M16 family.

Are they still manufactured, or are all the M2's in service refurbs?
