That reminds me of our Mk19s going to the French in Chad :(
OUCH.
My old unit was a light towed artillery unit, and every time I suggested some weapon that would improve our perimeter defense, I got shot down spectacularly.
One suggestion was a Mk-19A3.
*wistful sigh*
Would have loved to have had a mere four Mk19's, six M-249's, and all 8 of our M-60's up and working.
THAT would be quite a show to see lighting off.
Man.. Mk19's to the French.. UNGH!
(The CROWS weapon station.. would have loved one of those on our M1097's..)
