Mail Call Episode 79

At HQ, the Gunny is pitching horseshoes and because "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades," it's the perfect introduction to Lee's trip to Camp Pendleton, California where he gets some trigger time with the MK-19 (pronounced "Mark 19") grenade launcher. The MK-19 is a modern battlefield weapon that can punch out more than 300 grenades a minute. In a related short answer, Lee explains all the different feeding systems for machine guns from the old drum feed to the Mk-19's disintegrating metallic link-belt feed.
