About a week ago we learned about the Mark 19, the .50 Calibre, the M240B, and the M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). We went through some classes this morning and then we went out and fired them. It was pretty sweet! I have video of me and some others firing the .50Cal. The Mark 19 was cool and it had huge rounds, but it was nothing like the .50Cal. Some of us wanted to fire more than once, but they ran out of ammo.
Then we went back to clean some SAWs because we had fired ours. That took some time, but I have the help of about five other people on my SAW, so that saved quite a bit of time. I am trying to get a link up to show the movie of a couple of us firing the .50Cal. It was AWESOME!
