They wouldn’t need to be so concerned if they had lost the rounds in a tragic boating accident.

I just called the number and said I wanted to order a large sausage and mushroom pizza and a litre sized diet coke.

They told me "15 minutes".

Does that MK19 Machine Gun Grenade Launcher fall into the category of “ASSAULT WEAPON”?

I assume these grenades are shipped unarmed, but arm or “fuse” themselves in flight, after the propellant is ignited?? Does anyone know for sure?

After accomplishing a royal screw up in Minot, short of Leavenworth, what garden spot do you get transferred to?

"Finders keepers, losers weepers" comes to mind.

After all, we paid for them in the first place.

That wouldn’t be thirty mostly olive green 40mm grenades on a chain-link belt, would it?

Yep. Haven’t seen ‘em.

The poor bastards are already at Minot. How do you punish them further?

My LANCE missile artillery unit experienced having an M-16A1 fall out of the back of an M-151 Jeep in West Germany in the late 70s. It was found by a local citizen. They called the Polizei who found out what unit had been in the area and arranged to return it. German law requires the payment of a finder's fee to the citizen in such cases. The soldier it was assigned to got an Article 15 non-judicial punishment with loss of money and rank.

Had to look it up - 60 rounds per minute, or 40 rounds per minute sustained. I wonder what the average rounds per minute is in an actual fire fight? Hard to imagine having 40 grenades lobbed at you every minute. Oh - and has a range of 1600 yards.

Our Founding Fathers would definitely want the public to have them. I’m sure there are tactics that can be used against them - but it sure makes a 30-round semiauto rifle seem wimpy.

I hate when I lose a box of grenade rounds.

Is “fell off a Humvee” the same as “it fell off a truck”.

They bounce that stuff off tailgates all the time.

Usually in restricted areas.

Hopefully the guy mowing the ditches doesn’t find them the hard way.

As an aside, years ago, we picked up hundreds of oil field shaped charges and blasting caps spilled out all over an interstate highway after someone forgot to latch the trailer door.

The convoy commander in that trip has no future in the military now. Likely his NCOIC, Sergeant in charge, as well.

Why not Minot?

Freezin’ the reason!

I sure hope they get them back intact and not thrown back with the pins pulled!
