@tacticalarchives_: M249 SAW Gunner in a Heavy Firefight in Afghanistan | No Copyright Intended | The M249 SAW. 800 rounds per minute of sustained suppressive fire carried by one man into some of the most hostile terrain on earth. Afghanistan was tailor made for the SAW gunner; wide open valleys, compounds at distance and ambushes that could come from any ridgeline at any moment. The gunner’s job was simple in theory and brutal in practice; lay down enough fire to keep the enemy’s heads down while your team maneuvered and your medic reached the wounded. In the Korengal Valley, Helmand Province and the mountain passes of Kunar, SAW gunners burned through belt after belt in contacts that lasted hours under a sun that pushed 45 degrees. The weapon weighs 7 kilograms unloaded; with a full 200 round belt, kit and body armour a SAW gunner in Afghanistan was carrying close to 50 kilograms up mountain terrain at altitude. Every step earned. Every trigger pull deliberate. The men behind the M249 were the backbone of every infantry squad that ever set foot in that country and the footage they left behind is some of the most visceral and raw documentation of modern combat ever recorded… Source: Funker530 #TacticalArchives #fyp #afghanistan #war #military
