  • In this video, we made a 3D animation of the operation of the automatic grenade launcher MK19, which can fire 350 grenades per minute.
    The 40mm high-velocity grenade performance,
    MK18 and operating principles of the high-velocity grenade machine gun MK19.
    And so on.
    Thank you for watching this video.

    I served in the South Korean Army, 12th Mountain Div, Regimental Recon, and I remember getting my hands on these K-4s (South Korean licensed version of Mark19). One thing as a senior squad member of the crew-served weapons team, is to teach the newly arrived privates how to load and fire these 40mm GMGs or .50cal HMGs. And I can assure you the most painful thing was to explain them why you have to pull the charging handle, and let the bolt go, then pull the charging handle once more to get the gun into ready-to-fire state. If we had educational videos like this back then, things would've been much more easier lol

    I used to work for General Dynamics (formerly GE) in Burlington, VT back in the mid 90s. We made the GAU-19 (50cal). I was told they used to mount a mk19 on one side of a gunship (usually a Blackhawk) and a GAU-19 on the other side. Immense lethality.

      @@thejp8152 Yes, they also mounted these guns onto Humvees. The larger weapon systems like the Phalanx CIWS are used on ships for anti-missile defense. Used to go to the Ethan Allen Firing Range to watch testing. Terrifying! The entire building shook when that thing went off, and it took a second to throw 125 rounds downrange. We also made the GAU-8 Avenger (20mm) for the A-10 Warthog.

    After firing this MONSTER at a range on Marine Corps base Camp Pendleton California. I called my Dad that night, I said Dad if you had 2 of these mounted on top of 2 F-250 pickups, 4 men could put any city under siege in minutes. The national guard or a local Air Force base would have to be called immediately. The damage the MK19 can inflict in a very short time is amazing. Imagine if Godzilla were real. That is a MK19 going down any street anywhere in the world. For Real!!!

    I have a British friend that said this is the most American Military weapon he's ever seen, a machine gun that shoots grenades. When I was in Afghanistan, it was one of the few weapons the Taliban were truly terrified of and as soon as you ripped off a few rounds at them, they'd make a hasty retreat. They're badass support weapons! You can even use them for indirect fire too, the Marines call it 'playing golf'.

    About the only way you will get a malfunction is if the linkage slides on the casing. Which generally happens when you are trying to handle the belt too quickly.

Pretty sure this weighs more than a M2 without the barrel and this barrel could not be removed.

I admit I was hoping for something with a bit more info on the history/development of the Mk18 and failed Mk19 Mods 0, 1, and 2 and how the current Mod 3 came about/is different/improved upon from those models, but I can't seem to find any good videos on that topic anyway, so with the focus on the current AGL, this was pretty solid
