The timing wheel on this one was all kinds of screwed up and finally broke. We got it fixed and now it's a feeding machine. If you really got on it you could burn 100 rounds in about 10 seconds. You wouldn't do that because it's hard on the gun and you'ld be empty in the middle of the fight.

When your patroling you have your intercom muffs on that work well. If your just on a range or test firing like this your wearing earpro.

Well its one of the few things Uncle Sam spends money on that is actually worth it. One of John Brownings greatest creations. If you can't get it done with Ma Duce then call in an air strike.

Cool. I haven't fired one of those things in about 25 years. I do remember breaking 'em down and carrying 'em on foot though. Ugh.

Luckiely we use these vehicle mounted. They are brand new manufacture from a company in Ill. I actually unpacked this one this one myself a few months ago. Notice there is no brake so it's not near as loud as a 50 on the bench next to you at the range. Did you notice the 203 in the rack in the second photo?

Yes I did.
The M203 is one of my favorite packages. More thump per pound that just about anything a man can carry and still run with.
Thanx for the photos.
Stay safe.

We use to throw the brass at vehicles that get to close to us. Now it's warning shot, no screwing around right now. We got our MRAP's a few weeks ago. Mine Resistant Ambush Protective. They kind of live up to their name, I wish they where as good as they where billed up to be. I'll post some pictures if I get a chance.
A lot of Americans and Coalition troops have died in the past couple of weeks, please keep us in your prayers.
