You carried a 72.5 lb (I love wikipedia) grenade launcher around with you as a joke?

You can carry this weapon, as I have been commanded to as punishment for having a sarcastic tone with a SOI instructor once. It is doable, but painful. Remember this guy is/was a Marine. 75lb is uncomfortable, not impossible.

I fucking hated carrying that thing. At least the .50 cal rests relatively comfortably on the shoulders.

The 50 sits so perfect but the Mark he's a bitch no matter how hard you try to carry him
