Nothing Can Stop The US Army’s Mk-19 Grenade Launcher.

The Mk-19 or Mark 19 is a belt-fed automatic grenade launcher. It shoots M430 40mm grenades. Mark 19 can fire from a tripod or a vehicle. The rate of fire is usually sustained at 40 rounds a minute, although that can be improved depending on the combat situation. The Mk 19 grenade launcher has been a mainstay of American operations since its introduction in the late 1960s during the Vietnam War. The weapon is still prized for its ability to fire high numbers of 40-millimeter grenades accurately.
