I carried one of these. 23lbs plus 800 rounds of ammo.



Damn, those things were fun!

From what I was told by an armorer a while later, the barrel was shot out, but the trunnion was probably stretched or something so fitting another barrel wasn't an option. The whole gun had to be depot rebuilt and/or replaced.

That old gun--in 1990-1991--had supposedly seen time in Vietnam before being shipped off to my unit.
