00:00.796 --> 00:05.796
(machine gun fire)
(drums beating)

00:11.544 --> 00:16.544
(heavy machine gun fire)
(drums beating)

00:17.110 --> 00:21.150
- Today we are shooting the
M2A1 .50 caliber machine gun,

00:21.150 --> 00:23.799
and the Mark 19 grenade machine gun.

00:23.799 --> 00:28.799
(upbeat music)
(machine gun fire)

00:29.786 --> 00:30.619
- Uh!

00:30.619 --> 00:35.619
(upbeat music)
(machine gun fire)

00:37.875 --> 00:39.458
- The M2A1 .50 cal,

00:40.299 --> 00:41.900
or the M2 .50 caliber
machine gun's been around

00:41.900 --> 00:44.640
for over 100 years now.

00:44.640 --> 00:47.840
It's used in infantry units

00:47.840 --> 00:51.000
with usually CAAT
Combined Anti-Armor Team,

00:51.000 --> 00:52.333
with heavy guns.

00:53.740 --> 00:56.280
It's benefited in most
battles the Marine Corps

00:56.280 --> 00:58.160
has fought in up to this point.

00:58.160 --> 01:01.540
And then we got the
Mark 19, a little newer,

01:01.540 --> 01:04.000
been utilizing it since Vietnam War,

01:04.000 --> 01:05.715
and we continue to use it.

01:05.715 --> 01:08.350
(upbeat music)
(machine gun fire)

01:08.350 --> 01:10.410
This is the first time that the students

01:10.410 --> 01:13.160
could actually shoot these guns live fire.

01:13.160 --> 01:13.993
They've been working really hard

01:13.993 --> 01:15.240
for the last two weeks learning how

01:15.240 --> 01:17.710
these weapon systems
work, insides and out,

01:17.710 --> 01:19.460
and how to employ them correctly.

01:19.460 --> 01:21.050
And so this is the first time
that they actually go out

01:21.050 --> 01:23.708
on the range and fire up real time.

01:23.708 --> 01:28.708
(machine gun fire)
(upbeat music)

01:42.927 --> 01:45.438
(air whooshing)
