RE: DS II: Just to make trouble

Andrew,
	You are correct.  We use the MK19 (40mm) in both modes (USMC
considers it a
40mm Machine Gun), but to be fair, we mostly use it in direct fire mode.
With a range in excess of 2,200m it's like having a REALLY fast light
motar
section.  Some of our units train to use regular MG's in indirect mode
as
well.  I've even come across an indirect fire table for a browning .30
from
Korea in one of our units.  The battalions weapons officer was
attempting to
develop a similar table for our Heavy Guns plt.
