So a question for the people who are picking the Mk. 19. Do you have any real experience with it? If so were you able to get LSA Oil for it? If so how?

RPG-7

Truly under rated. Accuracy problems are really due to the ammuntion itself.

Reloadable and the sights are easy to swap. Night vision capable (Gen2) or daylight scopes with x3, and x6, and I hear x8 variable power. Sights with tritium inserts too for near darkness.

Easy to train on.

Ammunition types are astounding. HEAT, HE, HE-Frag, Illum, Thermobaric, smoke, and tandem charges.

Motor for the rockets can be swapped out in the field by the gunners, as motors and warheads are separate in the packaging. High speed, but short ranged motors for urban and close terrain with fleeting targets as an option. Low speed, but longer ranged motors for defense or attack in more open terrain.

HEAT warheads can and have been manufactured in garage shops with 40mm to 100+mm and piezo electric base fuzed warheads.

The hip pocket artillery of the light infantry with one to two per squad.

i don't think i've ever had the lube i was supposed to use for anything i've been issued. but i still love the Mk 19. its almost as good as momma for direct fire and it do some real damage fired with a high angle.

I was just wondering, as we could never keep ours from jamming, three rounds was the best we ever got be fore it jammed. We were told it was because we were using the wrong lube, as we could not get the lube, we found it to be less than useful, great idea, but practice was left lacking.
