The MK-19 Automatic Grenade Launcher
via U.S. Marines
Range: 1400 meters.
Round: 40 to 53mm.
Weight: Any grunt who has carried it will say: "Heavy as hell." They're right — about 73 pounds.
Analysis: Great for general mayhem and destruction. The Mk-19 Automatic Grenade Launcher is by far the most specialized crew-served weapon in the infantry.
It's also one of the most deadly, which is why it was banned from the battlefield in the final years of the Iraq War.
