  • This is where your taxes go: washed down to the sea.

  • @lovehorrordotde All for the sake of training. In this case, testing. Both worthy [and extremely fun] endeavors. :)

  • How about a music-free version? Some of us actually look for good machine gun clips for the sound, especially when the camera had a good microphone that doesn't cut out from the loudness.

  • @arknell Wish I could find it. That is the most requested thing.

  • so, just out of curiosity, how happy was the squadron armorer when you brought back a ruined barrel? I'm sort of surprised both guns didn't have a failure to feed after a move like that.

  • @ERAUsnow The gunners are the armorers. :)

  • @lovehorrordotde would you rather have our troops going into firefights with untested weapons?

  • @213robert

    What you see in this video is not the regular M3. It's FN's M3M. Three important differences between the M3M and the M2 BMG: 1) The new weapon uses an open bolt; 2) has an internal recoil spring, and; 3) a significantly longer barrel life. The first difference means that cook-offs are far less likely to occur while the second point means that the M3M has only a third as much non-compensated recoil as compared to the M2 BMG.

    That is not your grand dady's .50 cal. This is FNH's GAU-21. FN's M3M machine gun fires from open bolt to increase cooling and prevent coockoffs. The gun is very heavily redesign and it actually is GUARANTIED FOR 600 ROUNDS BURST, at that scarry 1100 rounds per minute. The barrels are fine.

  • MY TURN MY TURN!

  • @razorback6111 ...and what would they do to me...without their big guns?

  • @Philippeorlando

    you should say that to their faces

  • Nice. Like to put that gun on my truck

  • No fish were harmed in the making of this. Sadam Bin Laden's body popped up for a float though

  • 1:28-1:35 I was thinking those poor fish.
