MK-19

40mm (not 20) grenade-launching machine gun. Capable of firing 350rpm (not 9) in the current Mod 3 version.

Used by all branches of the US military, with the first prototypes being tested in the Kennedy-era and the newer Mod 3 entering active use by the Gulf War in 1991.

The Ranger fired his MK-19 into every Somali window he passed while riding with his convoy.
