Platoon firepower.

[Holger Danske]

Denmark are considering buying this baby. What about replacing your platoons 51mm mortar with one of these...
USMC just ordered 9000.

I mentioned the M32 MGL a while back as a possible replacement for the current UGL in this thread here viewtopic.php?t=14694&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30, but with their limited range I don't see them replacing the 51mm light mortar quite yet, even though that was the initial plan with the 40mm.

I really like the look of them though and am glad its being snapped up for use by the USMC.

MEI's Mercury HEDP round has a range of 800 metres, just like the 51mm.
And 6 rounds in two seconds is like a mini artillery-battery..

Hi Holger,
Just spotted the website on your profile. Are you in the SSR?

[Holger Danske]

Has been. Stopped last spring because of a new civilian job that didn't allow me to spend the required hours pr. year on PTRKMP/HOK or SSR as it's called today.

I was going to apply last year, but dropped it due to my civvy job too.

Where are you now then, INF?

[Holger Danske]

Well, when i'm not out on Thyra in the North-sea, i'm trying to spend some time in HVK Rebild. But i most confess that it's not that much anymore. But it gives a chance for maintaining some of the skills i learn in the regulars, shooting mainly..

This is what the the Para's are using, it can be belt fed from either side or it can be fitted with a magazine

[Holger Danske]

yeps, the GMG is a nice tool, but in a slightly different weight-class.

BTW. Denmark are also buying some H&K GMG that will be fitted to our new Bofors Lemur stabilised OHWS along with M2 QCB.

The new LEMUR sight installed on a Eagle IV patrol-vehicle.





Will also be installed on Piranha IIIC and M113G3+.

I was going to say I had fallen in love when I saw that picture of the granade launcher, after watching the video I think I am going to go and masterbate . Any chance of England getting their hands on one?

Any chance of England getting their hands on one?

SF maybe. I doubt the army would trust regular troops with that.

[Tab]

Well when I was playing with them they were already deployed in the Army

[Holger Danske]

I think Stinky means the M-32 not the GMG..

'Cos it's a different type of weapon, it's not an indirect fire weapon. The 51 was our only form of counter-mortar fire when we were at Musa Qaleh. We leant a couple to your guys when we left actually.

[Holger Danske]

Well, i would call it a bit of both due too the fly-time of those grenades.

Yep, pretty stupid that our first team down there didn't bring their own mortars. There are some new 60mm with the troops now, fortunely.
