Oh what weapons did I carry,
1st time M-249 SAW squad automatic weapon, belt fed,air cooled light machine gun,shoots 5.56 same as
M-16 max distance 800 meters about a 1000 rounds per minute.
2nd time M-4 with m-203 attachment which shoots a 40mm grenade same size as the grenade we throw, same size as the m-19 which is a automatic grenade launcher.
3rd time m-4 again no m-203 attachment,was a vehicle commander didn’t even shoot the m-4 the last time,all we encountered we fucking IEDS.
Side note- my first deployment I was in a turret Gunner sometimes,so we would take turns on the .50 cal or the m-19.
