PIG Pic..

Well, since I got to see and play with one at the Big Evil Scary Loophole Gun Show, I decided that the US Navy MK19 40mm Grenade Launcher would make a fine PIG Pic!

I'm putting in a requisition for one of these to be mounted on my ambulance!

What most folks don't know is that the Heavy Machinegun Platoon of the Weapons Company of a Marine Rifle Battalion carries one of these right next to the M2 HB Browning .50 cal. in the back of the Humm-Vee... Been doing it since 1986...
