MK-19 Mod 3 40mm Grenade Machine Gun

March 3, 2009 By The Editors

General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products produces the MK19 MOD 3 air-cooled system, a blow-back operated, belt-fed, crew-served 40mm grenade machine gun. Highly portable within small soldier units, the weapon’s high lethality and broad versatility make it the prime choice of the U.S. Armed Forces as an essential weapon in both offen­sive and defensive operations.

Firing M430 High Explosive Dual Purpose grenades, the MK19 pro­vides lethal fire against a variety of targets, including lightly armored vehicles and dismounted infantry. It will penetrate 75mm rolled homog­enous armor at a maximum range of 2,050 meters. Dismounted per­sonnel, within a radius of 15 meters from impact, will be immobilized by blast and fragmentation.
