Here's a bit o' fun

Mine would be the dual full auto 10 gauge that was on the military weapons show in the early 2000's.
I love 10 gauges and having HE rounds would be sweet.

The XM 203 was single shot; it was fun too. Shooting it wasn't as easy to master as the M79, but good stuff except it was OAL limited as compared to the M79. The "buckshot" round had 27 double ought pellets. There was also a flechette round, but I never saw one.
There was a 3+1 40 mike pump too.

Your answer to Todd about heights? At Benning, I was informed 2 things came out of the sky. To avoid being moderated. I'll say bird do-do and idiots.. As I didn't splatter, guess that meant I was an idiot.

27 pellets would be brutal. My loads were 18 pellets of 00. A flechette rounds would turn something into a pin cushion.
I had to take high angle rescue classes when I worked as a medic. I was never as terrified as when I had to take a Stokes basket across a canyon on a line. The worst part was before the slack came out of the rope.
If you put a huge lift on a truck and mounted two of those pods under the rear bumper. They would be real truck nuts.

The most damaging shell I ever saw up close was a 105 firing ~8000 flechettes in a shell.

I've seen McGuire and STABO rigs for extractions; what was a Stokes?

Think exoskeleton for a back board. We used it for carrying our gear and or patient.
That was me getting ready to cross a canyon during training.
They are probably outdated now. They weighed about 30 lbs.

Probably, everything I know is outdated now..

I got out right as we were getting into carbon fiber everything. It really was a game changer.
