What kind of range dose this beast have?
How useful is it and do they mount it to any vehicles? Any fist hand combat guys used this?  USMC Mark 19 40mm AUTOMATIC GRENADE LAUNCHER |

MK19 MOD 3, Army uses them as well. Yes, on mounting on vehicles, an if running good, will fuck insurgents shit up.

Friend in the army told me a story of a guy that kept bouncing rounds off the ground because he was shooting way to close in, he smacked him on the helmet and told him to shoot further out. Next couple of rounds caught an Iraqi in the abdomen, it didn't go off since it was also to close in but killed the guy instantly.

The slow fire rate and low velocity makes walking in rounds on target, into windows and onto roofs very easy. In a moving 1151, it gets a bit tougher.

It can go far. Much much further than the M203 40mm.
Actually has a kill zone where the M203 is point of impact basically. Requires a slight of hand perk to use. Lots of left hand right hand action. |

Goes out to about 2200m.
The linked rounds can't practically be linked and unlinked, so you are stuck with what ever belt length you have. I read the issue has been resolved. Clearing jams can be interesting. I remember the 31s would slather them with white grease. |

You can get a lot of golden tipped goodness in the air before they start to impact. They will tear up light armor and thin skinned vehicles. They are fun to shoot at night

They can be put in the CROWS system instead of (in addition to?) an M2HB.
I've only ever seen them used once in theater and it was glorious. An MRAP patrol (some with MK19 CROWS) were pursuing a group of guys through rough terrain and dry lake beds between villages and just unable to keep up, so the MK19... uhhh... neutralized the insurgents' mobility. #MK19ALLTHETHINGS |

I loved it. The armorers would fill them with white spooge. With some practice you just kind of get a feel for it and shoot it without sights.
Mk19 fun fact. Its not a grenade launcher. It is a heavy machine gun. |

Buddy and I were running a gun on a qual range and he asked me to pass the whale cum, didn’t realize this cute blonde butter bar had snuck up behind us and was watching. I hear her giggle and watch as he proceeds to lube the gun up after we’d run 5-6 cans through. Well he slammed the squirt bottle down a bit hard and what can only be described as a “massive load” shoots out the top and nails him dead on in the face. He turns to see if I notice and sees this 2LT completely lose her shit laughing and falling on the ground. He turned about as red as the wrong side of a range paddle. |

We rarely used them because in urban/village settings and/or from moving vehicles (to avoid CD) since it was hard to determine where the first few rounds were going.

What are you talking about? I never mentioned terminal ballistics, but thank you. As for grenades, you do have to land them near a target, it isn't like in the movies. Max effective range of a MK19 is 1600 meters. The sight on the MK19 tops out at 1500 meters. Sure, I guess you could pull the pin and set it at 45 and send out rounds to 2200m in a general direction without using the sights and hope for the best, but you can do that with just about anything. |

Love 'em.
When we were attacked in Camp Bastion, there were three Taliban fire teams. One was dispatched by the Marines from the wing. Another (guys who blew up the Harriers) was pinned down by fire from the Marines are Rangers in Strykers across the airfield, and then ripped apart by helo gunships. But the other guys tried to hide in a smoke pit and got lit up by the Brit QRF which hit them with vehicle mounted Mk19s. Mk19s being fired INSIDE the wire! It was glorious. |
