We'd been in country for only a few weeks at the time of filming."

I'd be like where the f is my ammo, and CLP bitches.The timing & head space is probably way off

Must be hard as hell to keep mounted weapons clean and running well in that dusty ass place!

Agreed. Thing is you can't fuck around trying to adjust that under combat scenarios. The M2 HB has given great service and has been an effective weapon for over 80 years. But don't you guys think its time for an upgrade? I mean the thing was designed in 1921 ffs. You ever see footage of a DSHK 38/46 or an NSV having issues? You don't, simply because they are gas operated.

most be so frustrating having to cock that Ma deuce all the time

look up the GAU 19b and the M2 M1A2. They are the next step. The GAU is a three barreled gatling with 1200 RPM. M1A2 has permanent head space and same rate of fire.
