I was one of my unit's MK19 gunners, and I can confirm that it has a barrel on the front.
Outstanding, private!
Loved the Mark, always ran well and easy to clean....
I knew I should have signed up ..missed some cool stuff ...hey man thanks for your service and wilfully defending others freedoms and rights ..you got guts ..
lol
I’m glad you cleared that up. 😂😂😂
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 served in Call of Duty and I used these in the shooter game
Should've just said once to load, once to position it to the barrel. Its complicated... Now just follow orders!
As a former MK19Mod3 instructor this video was nicely done. Remember kids always lube your MK19Mod3 daily. Otherwise your high pressure grenade launcher might jam and no one needs that kinda of pressure.
Its funny I was thinking just that. Jams or cook-offs must be a joy for the nerves. Glad to see an instructor would be stressing that part out 🤣
Best explanation and graphics ever.
The robo-voice SUCKS, and the grammar is terrible...
some vids in action be better yet
Would be nice to see it in action. That's honestly why I clicked this.
Awesome commentary. I fell in love with this weapon in Marine Corps boot camp in '90.
Mechanical version of "You see that guy over there? F*ck that guy."
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.
i have never heard of the GAU-19 until now, and then looked it up. jesus christ, that thing is badass.
@@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.
Yikes.
Yes, I worked for GDT where they made thes
@@cacinaz8802 the A-10 Thunderbolt II had a 30mm GAU-8A Gatling gun The cartridges were DU projectiles and could punch holes in armor and other targets.
350 shots PER MINUTE. This just keeps getting better.
Or in D&D terms you’re casting 35 fireballs a round 😂
Makes a great Christmas gift !
I fired the M79, and M203! Never got to fire this awesome weapon
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!!!
That'd end a riot pretty quick
Love your channel man! Great stuff…please keep it up! 🤙
Really clear and to the point. Thanks a lot!!!
I'm a body language expert and that gun is saying, " take me to Ukraine"
Got to shoot one of these during MCT in LeJeune. About 30 yrs ago now, boy the time does fly.
Hope you didnt drink the water
Love at first sight. First danced with this lady in Ft. McClellan, AL in 1992.
What a gift to the translators of the operating and maintenance manual! Thanks from Ukraine, Mscope!
Most fun weapon to shoot next to the m-2. Got to shoot in the Persian Gulf while on deployment in the navy.
This is what I call a history channel.
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'.
Love these videos. Keep up the work!
The way it moves the next round reminds me of the Maxim gun
Wow, your videos are so detailed and well made, great work man. You gained a sub from me.
Finally understand what firing from open bolt position is.
Awesome. Let's cram a bunch of these on a C-17 and fly them to an undisclosed location in Eastern Europe. I know of some guys that would probably love these things. 🇺🇦
I agree !!!!!!
My favorite weapon system when I was a soldier.
I have always been interested in weapon design and function, the mk. 19 was always something that I found interesting, your explanation on it's function was well done. I never would have guessed it's loading procedure.
It´s fascinatingly simple, right?
Almost like an oversized PPSh-41, it fires simply by the sear getting out of the way.
its like an oversized straight blowback open bolt smg that shoots 40mikes
If you are into weapon design and function may I suggest you play the video game simulation called "World of Guns: Gun Disassembly". That game lets you assemble and disassembly a number of different weapons from a number of different countries. I have shot AK-47 before in real life.Playing World of Guns taught me to assemble and disassemble that AK all the way down
Also Bonus...it free to play
Test
I worked for the major producers at MAAP of the 40mm cartridges for the MK-19 and M203 launchers. I had all the drawings on the MK-19 and M203 for inspection, maintenance and cartridge testing. We mfg probably 62% of all types of conventional munitions 40mm, 60mm 81mm, 120mm,155mm, 5 and 8 inch, projectiles, 2 000 lbs bombs and missiles for all the services. Complete automated manufacturing assembly on most items.
damn grunts really looked at the 50 Cal. machine gun and said what if we make it shoot grenades too
Wish these were around when I was a grunt…76-79. I could drop a round anywhere I wanted with the M203, but sending multiple rounds down range would have been so sweet.
Hand cranked MK-18 on Army RVP Boats on NAM rivers. Also had the 40mm grenade launcher M129 on the gunships then. The low velocity hand held Launcher, 40mm M79 (known as the blooper). I worked with all these cartridges and weapons. Great job with four top companies producing the cartidges.
They now have a multiple 6 shot to replace the 40mm, M203. It is the 40mm, M32 launcher. Check it out. Uses same munitions as M203.
Qualified as expert on the MK-19 when I was with Riverine Squadron One.
Foot Soldja: What is that thing on the roof top? Ooooh, I'm done .... ain't no moving forward!
One of my favorite RUclips channels, thanks
Thank you. I now know how to operate an MK19 grenade machinegun.
I carried an 79 in Nam. One at a time, but very effective.
That was one outgodamnstanding brief...well done.
As a Corpsman I remember seeing Marines flip a huge tire dozens of yards off of the ground using a Mk19. I was immediately in love with this weapon!
Awesome 🔥 explanation & graphics
I've just watched all 4 parts about grenades and I'm full of admiration for the quality of animation and the way of explanation how grenades work. I salute you. Well done!!!
For ages i searched RUclips for weapons and how they function, but only to see old videos that weren't really informative. Until now, your channel is superb and now were in an age where war is very common its great to see how things work. Cheers from Scotland :)
It can fire 350 a minute. But you ain't loading it that fast!
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.
Great illustration of the MKI9!
The ammo belts can be linked together
Very informative, clear, and...cool!
Your channel is incredible.
I got to be behind one in Iraq....awesome piece
Excellent video!! 👍👍
Great explaination and nice animation....
Incredible working diagram I'm speechless wow 👏👏👏
Watched several videos from this channel and learned a lot
Neat video. I didn't know that the belt segment stays attached to the grenade when it gets pulled.
Wow
Nice info bro with awesome art visuals.
Your videos depicting the engineering involved in these awesome machines is the best. I remember back in the 1980s when my dad was doing drawings on a good old fashioned drawing board. Dad and I were the only suppliers of a lockwire used to hold the tail cone assembly to the rocket body of the Hydra 70 from 1985 until 2015. Every single Hydra 70 rocket fired in Afghanistan was held together with a part build by either me or my dad. 233AS116 Lockwire. Could you please do a video on the hydra 70 and its history? General dynamics has hundreds of documents with my signature
Seu conteúdo é incrível mano tudo é explicado com clareza, parabéns!!
Really amazing explanation.
Imagine if they designed an electric grenade minigun though
They have it already.
That was good, thanks for sharing.
Sweet!
What a masterpiece 👌🏼
Animation Fantastic 👏💯
This was absolutely my favorite weapon the Army has
Very informative. thankyou
Reminds me of flares and the guns we played with as kids in germany.
The MK-19 was the 2nd Best weapon I manned in the UCMC OIF 2005
Excellent video I wish we seen them when I served in the airbourne rangers I learned on the battlefield
I LOVED shooting the mark 19
I loved taking walls insurgents in a van or pickup truck 😁😄😆😅🤣😂😁
I love all of u guys from this channel
barrel in front and a cover in back… brilliant.
Thanks for sharing this technology
Fired this often in the Marine Corps.... Man I miss shooting this thing! Loved seeing those rounds leave the barrel.
Perfect job👍
Dear Sir, many thanks for uploading such kind of informative videos. Please if you could add the mechanism of Recoilless Projectiles. Thank you
I was a primary gunner on this in 2004-2005. Including training I've sent out a few thousand rounds with this bad boy. I loved having this thing mounted up. Not going to lie it could be a pain in the butt when having to single load it or just hauling it around. Pretty sure this weighs more than a M2 without the barrel and this barrel could not be removed.
I was in through the 80s at Ft Benning, Ft Bragg, Fort Polk, during active duty and also various places with the NG and I have never seen one of those!
Mk 19 come to the Army about 90s ,so not many old vet have chances to see it!? The Marine have it first!
Fun fact: The MK19 can be used in the VR game “Hotdogs, Horseshoes, and Handegrenades”
Nice video!
Thats cool
Looking at how that action works, basically it's just a Maxim machine gun upscaled to 40 mm.
Thanks for educating videos...
k-4
Excellent content and presentation. Great channel. 👍
Great video! If the grenade had finns, would it fly longer do you think? To get it to 5km accurately it would need more than just power right?
Love your videos
I loved every time I got to shoot one of these while I served
I want one of those thanks for video
These things would be fantastic for commercial fishing
Thanks
Pretty cool ✌ 😎
¡Es un vídeo muy interesante y lo bien realizado que esta,me encanta tu trabajo amigo gracias!👍😊
Better than the hand crank gun.
MK19 Lore 👍
Even though I was like "No s**t Sherlock" at the "there's a barrel in the front and a cover on top" and normally don't like AI generated voice vids... overall I thought this was actually a good overview, and I liked the details of the operation and charging and firing cycle with nice clear animation showing exactly what you were talking about, well done. 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
Florida man: i'Ll TaKe YoUr EnTiRe StOcK!!1!1
Can you make one for both the 25mm m242 chain gun and the 35mm millennium revolver autocannon
As a brand new pv1 First time I shot live rounds from the mk19 it jammed . I've never sweated so much at one time ever in my life I thought the round was gonna cook off . The instructor I think SSG Guilliman was able to fix it and life went on . Except for my tidy browns we're drenched .
were gonna need more grenades...
A real "blyat" machine! I carried an M-79 in Vietnam, occasionally (and always made sure I had my Colt 1911A1 handy, just in case).
What's truly terrifying here is that you got the Safety controls backwards lol
Fun party idea..
Drink a shot every time he says ,,Grenade"
Great for home defense.
please make more of these
so many times drunk at the range late at night shootin mk19 havin a party 🚬🗿💨🇺🇸🤘 Rock Steady!
I don't really know much about explosives and I thought the maximum effective range of a 40mm was like a hundred feet, not a mile! Over the years, humans have gotten good at launching deadly things farther.
You can give anyone within a hundred feet a very bad day.
I was our squads M203 gunner and loved my tennis ball launcher.
