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!
Best explanation and graphics ever.
The robo-voice SUCKS, and the grammar is terrible...
some vids in action be better yet
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 🤣
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.
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.
Love your channel man! Great stuff…please keep it up! 🤙
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!!!
I fired the M79, and M203! Never got to fire this awesome weapon
Wow, your videos are so detailed and well made, great work man. You gained a sub from me.
Really clear and to the point. Thanks a lot!!!
350 shots PER MINUTE. This just keeps getting better.
Or in D&D terms you’re casting 35 fireballs a round 😂
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
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.
Most fun weapon to shoot next to the m-2. Got to shoot in the Persian Gulf while on deployment in the navy.
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.
Makes a great Christmas gift !
That'd end a riot pretty quick
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'.
Neat video. I didn't know that the belt segment stays attached to the grenade when it gets pulled.
The way it moves the next round reminds me of the Maxim gun
Love these videos. Keep up the work!
damn grunts really looked at the 50 Cal. machine gun and said what if we make it shoot grenades too
Thank you. I now know how to operate an MK19 grenade machinegun.
Qualified as expert on the MK-19 when I was with Riverine Squadron One.
What a gift to the translators of the operating and maintenance manual! Thanks from Ukraine, Mscope!
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
For ages i searched UA-cam 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 :)
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!!!
One of my favorite UA-cam channels, thanks
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!
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
Finally understand what firing from open bolt position is.
Foot Soldja: What is that thing on the roof top? Ooooh, I'm done .... ain't no moving forward!
Dear Sir, many thanks for uploading such kind of informative videos. Please if you could add the mechanism of Recoilless Projectiles. Thank you
Excellent content and presentation. Great channel. 👍
Mechanical version of "You see that guy over there? F*ck that guy."
Awesome 🔥 explanation & graphics
That was one outgodamnstanding brief...well done.
Really amazing explanation.
Imagine if they designed an electric grenade minigun though
They have it already.
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!
My favorite weapon system when I was a soldier.
This is what I call a history channel.
Watched several videos from this channel and learned a lot
Your channel is incredible.
Wow
Nice info bro with awesome art visuals.
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?
Florida man: i'Ll TaKe YoUr EnTiRe StOcK!!1!1
Great explaination and nice animation....
Very informative, clear, and...cool!
Seu conteúdo é incrível mano tudo é explicado com clareza, parabéns!!
Excellent video!! 👍👍
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
Looking at how that action works, basically it's just a Maxim machine gun upscaled to 40 mm.
Incredible working diagram I'm speechless wow 👏👏👏
Love at first sight. First danced with this lady in Ft. McClellan, AL in 1992.
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 .
Animation Fantastic 👏💯
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 !!!!!!
Excellent video I wish we seen them when I served in the airbourne rangers I learned on the battlefield
Can you make one for both the 25mm m242 chain gun and the 35mm millennium revolver autocannon
barrel in front and a cover in back… brilliant.
Perfect job👍
That was good, thanks for sharing.
Very informative. thankyou
Fun fact: The MK19 can be used in the VR game “Hotdogs, Horseshoes, and Handegrenades”
God work sir but you had not describe in this video. How gernade of this machine gun works!
I carried an 79 in Nam. One at a time, but very effective.
I got to be behind one in Iraq....awesome piece
The MK-19 was the 2nd Best weapon I manned in the UCMC OIF 2005
Thanks for sharing this technology
What a masterpiece 👌🏼
They should splice the mark 19, get 2 barrels working on 1 trigger, with a clockwork mechanism, ensuring one barrel fires after the other, and when stopped, the next barrel always is the first to fire. That way, you would double the rate of fire, but each individual barrel heats up at the same rate per trigger pull, as a normal mark 19.
Nice video!
¡Es un vídeo muy interesante y lo bien realizado que esta,me encanta tu trabajo amigo gracias!👍😊
Fun party idea..
Drink a shot every time he says ,,Grenade"
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.
Automatic machine guns Are Preety rad but for those who dont got one we have medium velocity and low
I got my picture posted on the front cover of Stars and Stripes Newspaper in 2004. The photo shows me firing the Mk-19 from my SOF DMV when we were involved in a firefight on our way down from Korengal to the Pech Valley, Kunar Province Afghanistan
Can you make a video about the M982 Excalibur Round.
Thanks
Wonder if they could make a version of the MK19 with a longer barrel for Sniping.❌
Love your videos
I love all of u guys from this channel
Thats cool
I'm a body language expert and that gun is saying, " take me to Ukraine"
My outfit, Mobile Riverine Force sqdrn 15 and 13 were first to take the Mk19 into combat in 1968.
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.
Sweet!
Great video!
BTW, there is another way that high velocity grenade launcher could be employed via front loader cargo e-bikes.
A typical front loader e-bike can carry 400-450 lbs of cargo plus a rider. e.g. one might Google cargo E-bikes to see many examples.
As such it could carry such a grenade launcher. While one could envision having a remote firing mechanism so that the greened launcher could be fired on the move a simpler way would be to use the bike to carry it as well as act as a tripod on wheels and one dismounts the bike to fire the grenade launcher.
Perhaps even better one could lay the cargo e-bike flat (thus offering a lower profile and making it so that the grenade launcher could be flip 90 degrees so as to be able to be fired with the bike on its side.
One could also put a light weight armored plate on the floor of the front cargo bay of the bike so that when it is lain on its side acts as a gun shield .
Thus the e-bike can act as a carrier, a tripod, and a shield but would be much smaller and light and cheaper than say a larger vehicle employing the weapon such as a Humvee or Stryker.
as such the E-bile could go places where a larger vehicle can't go, like through woods, inside of buildings, down narrow alleyways, etc and could even be pushed over even rougher terrain.
BTW, I have made an uploaded to my UA-cam channel a number of videos that illustrate this (with my somewhat own crude graphics) but they really don't do all that good a job of illustrating the concept.
Perhaps your site might in the future not only cover how existing weapons work but might show how future weapons and employment concepts might work as well in that often it is hard to explain to others how things work that they have never seen before or things that are familiar used in new and different ways (e.g. like using a cargo e-bike as a tripod on wheels).
Something similar existed much earlier at the time of World War 2: M19 5-cm machine grenade launcher. The M19 5-cm machine grenade launcher could only be used in bunkered conditions. This required certain types of bunkers designed for the weapon.
Regelbau 135 a for M19 (stand for M19 with smallest bell in "B" red 135a - two-storey)
Regelbau 136 a for M19 (Regelbau 136 a - M19 with smallest bell in "A")
Regelbau 633 for M19 (Regelbau 633 - stand for M19)
They were mounted in the bunkers in an armored bell with a rotating opening at the highest point. There were two types, both concreted into the bunkers.Panzerturm 34P8: armored turret for 5cm M19 machine grenade launcher with shaft ring Ausbaustärke B (designed 1935)
Armored turret 49P8: Armored turret for 5cm M19 machine-grenade launcher, strength A-1 (designed in 1935).
That was a minenwerfer or mortar, not a grenade launcher. These have different proppelant systems and are used differently (mortars are indirrect fire, like. Artillery, grenade launchers are arcing direct fire, like a low velocity rifle) It it was electrically driven rather than gas operated. It was clip fed rather than belt fed.
What's truly terrifying here is that you got the Safety controls backwards lol
I had no idea such a weapon existed, and it's old! One of these could decimate a rushing opposing force in the open, probably has. There's no way that mag held 300 rounds, how fast does it run out of ammo all out?
Ammo is in reusable metal cans, one with 32 cartridges or one with 48 cartridges. Change out is very quick.
So the granade machine-gun is an open bolt system. I thought it was a closed bolt system.
I would like to see a video on how a chain gun works
Pretty cool ✌ 😎
can be used for mobile action ,Moters , Mechs ,and even a drone
I loved every time I got to shoot one of these while I served
so many times drunk at the range late at night shootin mk19 havin a party 🚬🗿💨🇺🇸🤘 Rock Steady!
Thanks for educating videos...
