What is this weapon?

[LordRaiden]

Picture of mystery weapon.

I've seen the navy use it, and definately ground forces. It shoots the same 40mm grenades the M203's shoot and does it machine gun style. Great for anti-armor operations. But the thing is, I can't remember what it's called. Anyone know?

Here you go:


MK19 40mm Grenade Launcher

 

[LordRaiden]

Ah, yes. That's the one. 🙂

So what is an MK40 I've heard so much about?

 

[Hammer]

The MK40 is a sidearm (pistol)

It's heavy as hell if you have to carry it but its fun to shoot.

Firing that is a hell of a lot more fun than firing the 50 cal everyone says they want. I'll take a belt fed automatic grenade launcher any day.

In battle, I'd take the 50 cal over the greanade launcher, simply because of it's longer effective range. If it's simply for fun, I'd go with the 40mm Grenade Launcher

If you were in battle, you wouldn't be given a 'choice', the weapons are task oriented. They have units whose task would favor the use of .50cal BMG and others whose task would favor the use of the MK19. These two weapons have very little overlapping utility.

 

[bolomite]

it's called 'ass-kicker'

 

[adlep]

Sweet weapon!

That thing is rude. Only $13k and change to buy it and a solid firing rate. Definitely would kick some arse.

Duh! Blow up tanks, of course!

Why would you even bother to ask this question? 😛

Looks like one of those cannons from American Gladiators, the ones that shoot those yellow balls 🙂

No kidding I wouldn't have a choice if I was a soldier. I'm talking if I did have a choice.

Looks like something out of Halo 😀

No way man I'd pick both. Duct tape the .50 cal to the side of this so that they both aim at the same spot and tie the triggers together. Nothing would live!

 

[blackhawk]

the .50 cal is almost a hundred years old and still one of the most efficient calibres/weapons ever designed

The heavy machine gun had a single shot selector and with a night/telescope mount was able to be used as a crude sniper weapon 35 years ago up here.

Now the 50 calibre sniper rifles rule, excellent downrange ballastics and with modern materials and technology, able to be fired without a tripod.

Its the BX chipset of the military.

Grenade launchers are heavy, complicated and special purpose.

Now thats what I'm asking Santa for this Christmas

How much would the reloads of the Mk19 cost ?
