U.S. Army service members setting up and firing a 40mm Mark-19 automatic grenade launcher aboard a vessel during a live-fire target practice training exercise at sea.
The Mk 19 grenade launcher (Mark 19) is an American 40 mm belt-fed, air-cooled automatic grenade launcher. The Mk 19 can launch its grenade at a maximum distance of 2,212 meters (2,419 yd), though its effective range to a point target is about 1,500 meters. It fires 40 mm grenades at a cyclic rate of 325 to 375 rounds per minute, giving a practical rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute (rapid) and 40 rounds per minute (sustained).

Why is the army in a ship in the ocean
these assholes will be long dead even before they can set up the clumsy gun…
Wonder how much each round costs?
Was that a spray bottle of CLP behind him ?? Maybe thats why its jamming?
ðŸ‘ðŸ»
Machine guns are so unreliable and so ragged in utility…need more smoother and quick loading…in actual fight imagine the situation..a seconds can make a difference 😳
I'd rather want to have a M134 Minigun instead of a 40mm grenade launcher aboard a vessel. Even a 50 cal machine gun would be better than the grenade launcher, because it's got more ammo, better range, accuracy, etc.. What could a 40mm grenade launcher do against threats like helicopters or missiles? Machine guns have much better chance of defending a vessel against all kinds of threats with better range and accuracy.
Random people: throwing dynamite on the sea is bad for fishes and for us
Military: using granade launcher
Protect de nature!
these are great on large groups of civilians!
nice gun
good US navy Mk-19 40 mm grenade launcher #
RIP fishes
Em um confronto real essas lesmas seriam trucidadas.
Of course these WASTEFUL WASTE MIS MANAGERS, THE NAVY..DUMPS SPENT CARTRAGES AND THE "PUMPKIN" RIGHT INTO THE SEA. DEPLETED URANIUM, GARBAGE, PLASTICS RIGHT INTO THE SEA W NO CARE OR WASTE MANAGEMENT. THEY CANT BE BOTHERED TO CONSERVATE ANYTHING OTHER THAN DEAT
No me parece correcto que las vainillas y mas objetos caigan al agua, pues serán en último perjudicado los peces
Needs milk juice thats why it jamming. Whats the army doing on a Navy ship
LOL machine
Very powerful weapon..
Looks like someone didn't clean the MikeMike very well! Lol
My question is why is there a grenade launcher on a ship thats supposed to fight other ships that are miles away?
Fuerte mierda de arma se encasquilla más una puta mierda en caso de guerra no es muy efectiva esa arma ala basura
I came here from a 13 year old video
no one
U.S army: what if we put a grenade launcher
O N A B O A T
Who wants to see this in movie battleship??
I'm fan of military, but I also see messing the ocean.
Hooooold up. There is a lot going in here. Looks kinda normal but this is a fuckin leprechaun. Naval vessel? Check. Interdiction weapons training. Check. Here’s what’s mind bending. Those aren’t Marines. I would expect 100% a Marine Instructor. Instead there is a CW2 (Chief Warrant Officer Grade 2) and a Specialist, both Army. Warrant officers are primarily known to be in combat aircraft roles. They are officers, but not in the officer corps as most know it. In regular units, they live in the ether. Between Enlisted and Officers. Here one day, gone for weeks at a time, and reappear with no discernible timetable. PT formation? Maybe? 2 weeks straight, gone a month, 3 days, gone 8 days, there and gone. Like a shadow. Having been in the realm of the E-4, Warrants were like Sifu. Try and grab a little glimpse, a move or a few words. E-4 can sham, but Warrants were fucking Ninja.
Waz up the grenade launcher always jammed?🤣🤣🤣
Would have been nice to seethe grenades hit the water
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
That would be good for drive bys. Or getting out of a bad neighborhood. How much, and where do I order one ? Amazon?
Death to America
Great for engaging infantry trying to board the ship.
This is why we have Marines
Very good ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
ist der orange Gummiwürfel ad hoc selbstdichtend?! 😛
Çöp
Why is it jamming?
Dang, you would think these boys would have massive ammo boxes to draw from, the fact that they don't just stinks. If we were in a war right now like we had in world War II they would have to be reloading every 10 seconds. You'll never win a war that way. These boys should have 25,000 rounds to draw from at any given moment
HOLA = HELLO
Great exercice, Godâ˜Bless ðŸ‘US NAVY 🇺🇸💪💪💪ðŸ‘
Everytime I see that weapon being fired on youtube I see a stoppage.
That was awkward.
So what's Israel going to make you puppets do next?
This is really cool to watch. Thanks for the great content.

You could put a Mk-19 on a rowboat and probably take on the entire Spanish Armada in it's heyday and come out on top. Shit, you could probably do that with an M2 too.
Too bad no one can hit the target.
Weapon failure or user error?
Excelente video, me gustarÃa pertenecer a los marines saludos desde México
