They never trained me on anything fun as a medic. I would have renounced anti-imperialism if they gave me one minute with an MK19.
I've seen some uninspiring humvee videos where M2s on the first burst jam but when they don't it makes a hole and is definitely rated beyond any kind of body armour troops wear. Sometimes those plates and helmets stop 7.62mm rounds so I'd consider it a step up.
They're kinda cool, but also kinda fucky because sometimes they malfunction and instead of launching a round it'll cycle it through and drop it live between your nuts. That said it's gotta roll a few times to truly activate but fuck me is that scary.

Well, the .50 that's shot is an anti-material round because of how much powder is being used to sling a giant fuck you piece of metal. Some of the legs I've talked to told me stories about how the near passing of a .50 was enough to kill somebody due to the sheer shockwaves it produced were enough to cause internal bleeding - much less what it actually did if it hit you, by which I mean if you've seen that one scene in Scanners where the guy's head explodes like a watermelon basically that. Ain't no way in hell any tier 4 body armor stopping that.
I see them selling these on after the war to things like future Mumbai attacks/Bataclan massacres/embassy attacks. Those anti-materiel rounds eat through concrete so they could probably get past any entryway that isn't a bunker.
The only reason I want to shoot a MK19 is ArmA2's Takistan Life mod. It turns the game into a Pakistan/Afghan border RPG. Every server is full of 12 year-old German kids seriously roleplaying as cops. MK19s were poorly implemented so they were extremely powerful to the point of being gamebreaking since you could carpetbomb an entire VCP in a couple seconds. I used to sit there for hours griefing little Kyle Rittenhouse motherfuckers who'd spend half the day raising enough money to buy some special gun or vehicle. Then they'd begin screaming about IST NICHT ROLEPLAYHAUSENSPLAUSEN and I could double down on fucking with them.
The one time I had to learn FO shit for officer bullshit I realized the one time I'll actually use the math they teach in school was for this and that I fucked up by failing math class.

cw gory details of war stuff.

I think they have to spin, at velocity, for 23m before they activate. Some little pins in there that are centrifugally activated or something.
Also, the stuff about the .50 cal shockwaves is bull, I later learned.
I blame the crayola-eating marine infantry bros for telling me this.
I was artillery but :yea:
Not sure if I was still in or not when it was corrected.

I got to shoot a car with a PKM as part of training. It was awesome
