When Long Zhan was assembling this light machine gun, Murphy also specifically mentioned that because the terrain of this mission was difficult and required climbing cliffs, it was not suitable for the use of light machine guns, and the logistics ordnance personnel did not prepare machine guns at all.
The MK48 that Long Zhan has now was borrowed by Murphy from the Green Berets next door. After using it, he had to return it to others.
This is also an interesting episode!
The main weapon basically meets the requirements, and the secondary weapons are completely fine. All five people have a P226 pistol.
As one of the standard pistols of the special forces, this pistol is definitely qualified for this operation.
In addition to the firearms, which are basically prepared for Dragon War, the armor is also in place. 4 sets of bulletproof combat vests that can be equipped with front inserts are specially prepared.
In the face of non-armor-piercing bullets hitting the chest, it can basically provide excellent protection.
The final ammunition and grenades are even more abundant. There are more than a dozen boxes of various kinds in total. Even if you bring 30 magazines, you can't finish them all.
Marcus, Dietz and Matt heard from Murphy that not only must they wear bulletproof tactical vests with inserts, but each of them must also carry at least 15 magazines and more than 10 grenades of various types.
They were all unhappy at first, and everyone was complaining.
In reconnaissance missions, there is basically no combat. You wear heavy body armor that is almost useless, and you carry so many magazines that you can't finish them all.
In the eyes of the three of them, they were simply looking for trouble for themselves.
You must know that they have to walk for 3 to 4 hours in three years on difficult terrain and have to climb up and down.
This extra 10 pounds of weight will consume a lot of their physical strength.
As a result, just when Murphy was about to explain, Long Zhan decided to use a more efficient and effective method and said abruptly: "You can't carry such a little weight. Are you really from SEAL Team 10? This is the special force of SEAL Team 10."
What is the strength of the team members?
My load is nearly twice that of yours, and I don’t think there’s any problem, and I don’t need anyone’s help, but don’t let me look down on your 10th team.”
Hearing the rhetorical questioning from the "outsider" Long Zhan, Marcus and the other three were furious on the spot.
People who can climb from the bottom to the special forces, even if they have different personalities and tempers, will definitely have the same traits.
That is a fierceness that refuses to admit defeat.
In order not to be "looked down upon" by an outsider like Long Zhan, and in order to safeguard the honor of their SEAL Team 10, Marcus and Matt did not say any more complaints.
They even secretly competed with Long Zhan, saying that they would take as much as Long Zhan brought.
When all preparations were finally completed, several people's tactical backpacks were filled with 18 magazines and more than 10 smoke and fragmentation grenades.
This exaggerated amount of ammunition is enough to fight a team encounter of 10 people.
But what about.
Although several people were secretly competing with Long Zhan and even brought more ammunition than Long Zhan, the burden of Marcus and the three of them was actually much lighter.
Normal machine gunners carry soft machine gun ammunition pouches, usually only three or five in one operation.
I can't carry any more!
Long Zhan is a good guy. He just brought 10 100-round soft bullet bags. The total weight of the bullets exceeds 14 kilograms.
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]
The carrying capacity of 1,000 rounds of ammunition is not even enough to describe it as ruthless.
What a crazy person!
Not to mention other logistical requirements such as blasting cables, helicopter guidance and lighting devices, M18A1 Claymore broad-blade mines, climbing ropes, maintenance kits, etc.
Just the mass of these 1,000 rounds of 7.62mm bullets can beat the total weight of the Marcus three bullets.
Perhaps it was because they knew that Long Zhan's bullets were heavier and that the three Marcus brothers carried more magazines to make them feel that they were not taking advantage.
At the same time, although the three of them were still arguing verbally, they were actually convinced deep down.
More than 14 kilograms of bullets, plus 10 grenades, a 10 kilogram MK48 light machine gun, bulletproof tactical vests, broadsword mines and various logistics supplies.
The total weight of supplies during Operation Dragon War was at least over 40 kilograms.
It’s equivalent to carrying a woman on your back the whole time!
Even if Marcus and the other three were performing direct missions, they had never carried such heavy supplies, which would only weigh about 30 kilograms if they were to break the sky.
For reconnaissance missions that require long-distance travel, the combat load never exceeds 20 kilograms.
This time, the Dragon Zhan who was traveling with them did a great job, directly surpassing their record by 20 kilograms. The extra 20 kilograms may not sound like much, but it is based on the limit of 20 kilograms for ordinary people.
There are limits to what people can bear.
Once the critical point of weight-bearing is reached, every additional kilogram is no longer as simple as one kilogram, and the consumption on the body increases exponentially.
It's like a weightlifter who can lift 180 kilograms, but can't lift 185 kilograms either dead or alive.
Is this 5 kilograms really heavy?
Obviously not!
Marcus and the others could not imagine what it would be like to carry a terrifying 40 kilogram load on a mission, and to climb mountains and ridges in steep mountains and forests.
Even though Long Zhan was a tall man of over 1.9 meters, the three of them couldn't help but question him.
Will the dragon war be able to hold on until then?
Of course, this was just what the three of them were thinking. This question was not a slander against Long Zhan, but more out of curiosity.
After all, this was their first time fighting together, so they didn't know how effective Long Zhan would be on the battlefield.
Long Zhan also felt the strange looks from everyone. He was not in a hurry to explain or show off to everyone, and still calmly checked the equipment in detail.
It's not that Long Zhan doesn't bother to explain, it's just that this weight is to him...
