..for me, the most interesting weapon I fired was the Browning M2 Automatic Machine Gun. I was the gunner during most of of deployments when we used GMVs.. we had armor piercing incendiary rounds...remarkable is a understatement, the absolute destructive power it wielded..i remember on more than one occasion, it would split boulders that the Taliban would use as cover..

..a couple of unique situations allowed for us to stop the truck and a teammate would set up our spotting scope next to the truck and walk me into the target/s on a ridge line about 1700 meters away..! The terrain in Afghanistan leaded itself to the easy to spot of the splash of impact of the rounds in the dirt/rocks and then walk in to target..
