Thank You! to both of you for your service!
I don't imagine field stripping & cleaning one of these in the desert is much fun...I have a WW II Aircrewman's Gunnery Manual which states the aircraft version (with spade grips) only weighs 20 pounds...Hahahahaha!!!

That's with 'straight' barrel; the M1919A4 seems to have a tapered barrel...But then they add the cooling shroud, carrying handle, bipod, and flash hider...
Still, it's got to be easier to hump this than an M2...
