Me and my Stryker

DID THEY SPELL STRYKER WRONG?! Holy shit, if you are going to get an overview of the vehicle at least get the name right.

Four soldiers were killed in Zabul province on Thursday. Three of them died when their heavily armoured Stryker vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.

Great news coverage! You are a celebrity!

I have operated the weapon system on the vehicle, but only for tests designed to collect certain data. I've operated the M2 and Mk-19 from the vehicle.

sweetness. ive shot the mk-19 in training never down range or anything, mk-19 is the an automatic grenade launcher type deal? im not sure if automatic is the right word or not. i might be completely off on the whole thing haha. anyway, when i was down in Sanantonio they had a stryker that was modified as a medivac vehicle. id say top of the line piece of machinery for sure. it had 4 mechanical litter type devices, all could be controlled without even getting up. kool video, & awesome vehicle.

Yeah it's a 40mm automatic grenade launcher. If you go to QRZ(dot)com and search for the call sign "WS4RKT" you'll see a photo of me operating a Mk-19. It's a great weapon. It can be a little difficult to clear jams if you don't know what you're doing. Took me a few times of using it before I got proficient at it. How long you been in the service?

Whoa, you're not kidding. You get to play with some neat toys. Did you get to do any target practice?
