shot my M16 today. twas a lot of fun! its been a pretty good week, i got to shoot my rifle AND my grenade launcher all in one week, and the weather was favorable for it also! Hooah.
the gunsmith at work shot my rifle and got tons of backspray from the ballistics chamber and came out coughing, then he yelled really loud, laughed and said "damn, i NEED one of these!!"
i've heard a lot of conflicting claims (mostly due to gamers thinking they know what they are talking about)as to the effective range of the 37mm grenades. do you happen to know off hand ?
i don't know that we have any 37mm grenades. here are the specs of a 40 mm. grenade tho:
caliber: 40mm
weight: 8 ounces
max effective range (point target): 150 meters
max effective range (area target): 350 meters
max range: 400 meters
rate of fire: 5 to 7 rounds per minute
minimum combat load (U.S. Army): 36 High explosive rounds
i've thought about it often, but i can't bring myself to sign my life over. and i have an issue with certain aspects of military life, mostly because i fear immunizations.
