Marine Corps Motto Clip

YouTube - US Marines (3rd Battalion 1st Marines Iraq Fallujah 2004)

This is one of the motto clips we watch in boot camp. there are lots but this one is the best. Everytime I watch it, it makes me want to switch to infantry. Hell I can't listen to the song w/o thinking about Marine infantry. Just thought I would share.

Great video!! I like the upgraded and new weapons.The 50cal is more effective than peope know as is the law and morters.

They showed us a demonstration of the M2 (50 cal), MK 19 (Grenade Machine gun), and the M240G (Medium Machine gun) at MCT (Marine Combat Training). It was bad ass. It was only 40mm training rounds that explode into orange dust but still....

Also the weapon in my sig/ava is a M203 40mm grenade launcher. It attaches to an M16A2 service rifle. For those that watch movies when you see a Marine shooting an M16 9 times out of 10 its not what we really shoot. We use the M16A2 which is not full auto. 30 rounds on full auto is gone in like 5 seconds. The A2 only has semi (what we use) and a 3 round burst.

Yah semi is normally what they allow,and grenade launchers just RULE. On full auto doesn,t that shit get hot? I mean the barrel has to heat up...do you guys change it...or stick with just semi?

For full auto machine guns there is a certain way we fire it. Depending on the rate of fire we are told to shoot is how long we hold the trigger.we have like 5-8 second burst is the norm. And yes we change barrels after a certain duration but in combat nothing ever goes the way it is supposed too.
