The US Mk19 is also usd by the ADF, and proved very effective in the post S11 conflicts we have been fighting in.
WRT to pic in the above post, thats good fire power along with the 12.7!
I would not wanna be on the business end of 40mm HEDP, and the 12.7 AP, API, APIT. For ops the ADF does not even have ball in the link.
Wicked.

The MK19 is a good piece of kit provided you can keep it running,Canada is/was looking at the General Dynamics M47 Striker 40mm GMG http://www.gdatp.com/products/lethality/mk47/striker_gallery/photos/5.jpg ,lighter and more reliable than the MK19 but as to the question will we ever see it issued....Who knows and if they do they are being pretty quiet about it.

It would be nice to see that Mk19 mounted on a G-wagon or a LAV...
It‘s just amazing watching one in action.
I‘m sure there was a vid somewhere I‘ll try to dig up the URL.

The LUVW C&R version, a basic 2 vehicle patrol is supposed to be mounted with the Automatic Grenade Launcher in one vehicle and the ALAWS in the other. Both types of weapons have yet to be decided as to the supplier.

Yeah true enough i guess....
But i have heard that the US version of the weapon has some feeding problems.
P.S. So bullets hitting a box of belted 40mm rounds on the side of the weapon would not cause the rounds to go off (unless you got a dead on shot on the shells primer, which is like 10000:1 chance)

LOL... indeed.
It would be nice to see these on CF vehicles.
Perhaps, a little R&D time to decide which would be more appropriate, but nontheless to have an GMG of some sort.
On the round question... It would really depend on the the round fired at the box and the location of the hit.
A more realistic event would be in a fire or some intense heat source (Ph flare/nade) where the box would go off. The same with any situation with cased rounds and fire.

Yeah like rounds cooking off in a machine gun because the guns too hot from sustained fire.
lol....i misread ya man. I was wondering where youd find a GMG for sale up here lol.
yeah that would be nice. Ive read the US adopted the GMG because they found that a .50cal machine gun was often insufficent to break up an attack (this was in the Vietnam war and i belive they were talking about the M-113 and the river patrol boats). So they figured a stream of 40mm grenades would work better.
It would be a nice weapon for suppressing the enemy eh?

Yeah sorry.....i was using GMG as a general term for grenade machine guns.
Is that even a catagory of weapon. Or do you just lump it under the same catagory and the M-2HB .50 cals (that is the version of the m-2 you guys use right?)
Im bad with canadian designations for things so bear with me.
