>The Mk19 and SAW are not comparable; it's apples and oranges. The
Mk19
is in a class with the Browning M2 .50 cal, and like the Ma Deuce, it is
meant for vehicular mount or tripod. Neither the Mk19 nor the M2 can be
fired by
crunchies without a tripod setup, which means that they are not weapons
that can be included in standard infantry squad doctrine.
Okay, let's assume there's a light, one-man AGL (since SG2 says there
is)--it bears the same relationship to a Mk19 that a squad SAW does to a
M2.
IIRC the SAW is d10/d10. Should the AGL be d12/d8? Or should it be,
say,
d8/d8 with the ability to negate a level or two of cover (since it can
indirect-fire)? Or is there another way to do it?
