What is the military weapon or system you miss using the most?

M16A1 I could get headshots at 200 yards

The MK19 was such a unique weapon to use, I miss it!!

50 Cal or the 249 fasho

I miss the honesty and how no one will steal and help each other reach there goals

My M27 IAR never let me down!

1911A1

Artillery, HIMARS!!!!!!

Ok I miss our Anti Air Warfare Radar looking at that screen to see what was coming towards me.

I retired in 2018. I was a Culinary Specialist. My weapons were not used to fight but to support the war fighter. My weapon of choice was my Flatt Grill in the Galley. When I would make special items like Chicken Alfredo or Pepperoni pizza on the grill the warfighters I supported would absolutely love it and would be fuiled to fight. So my Favorite indirect weapon was my Hot Grill...... V/R Gregg Blevins 84-88 (GMG) 2003-2018 (CS)

M-60 Machine Gun. That weapon was a real blast.

I miss using the blue force tracker.

My BIDS (Bio Integration Detection System) ! Being one of the first teams of its kind, taught us how to work together to identify and fix equipment that was made to protect ourselves and each other. We prepared the labs and ourselves for deployment. In doing so, trusting our hard work and understanding the responsibilities, requirements and putting trust in ourselves to carry out our missions. Since our teams didn't have a chance to deploy, we at least managed to help rewrite some of the manuals, and corrected items to improve the system and make it better for the next time it would be used.

I was an intelligence analyst, but I spent most of my career with infantry, artillery, tankers, and scout units. I fired lots of weapons during my career, but the M-16/ A-2 with a 203 attachment was the best. I carried a M-9 and M-16 both during deployments, but there is no way I was grabbing my 9 before My M-16. It was my lifeline, and I qualified expert everytime. I loved night fire and watching the tracers fly.

Nike anti-aircraft missile defense system. They could sure use them in Ukraine. And they were analog.

50 Cal and the discipline and loyalty that drove effective systems

I miss the radios/comms units. I miss talking to my brothers and sisters. Some gone, some here but we lost touch. I miss the familiar voice on the other side. The support that came when it was requested. The reassurance that help was on the way. The jokes... the fart sounds... the brevity that lightened the mood when we were deep in our mission. I long to know the challenge and password to get back on the net with my brethren.

I miss working with the M4. I learned to appreciate shooting a rifle in the Marine Corps and I actually had a secondary MOS where I was able to teach others all aspects of the M4 or M16 and it was my favorite part of service. I also enjoyed shooting the Beretta M9, which is no longer used but it was what we had and it was fun teaching people that as well.

240 bravo because it's an area weapon with the most damage

I love the M2 Browning Ma Deuce

M60 nothing better

The Minuteman III nuclear weapon system. I loved the 5 years I was doing that in Montana. Many of my peers thought I was crazy for liking it so much. DEUCE!!!

There's actually only one weapon, or perceived weapon in the AF and I never used it because if it fails, it can never regain power. The weapon used most is fear. Constant threat of losing your job or Award or God forbid the almighty, more important than life promotion. I had that fear when I first started, maybe two years in. Once you get over it, they have nothing. They can't threaten you anymore. The real power that very few people know how to utilize is true loyalty that is actually earned and has zero to do with rank. Imagine me as a capt mopping the floor along with an airman. Yeah, I got some weird looks from both sides which is truly disgusting. I know who I am and what I stand for. If someone relies on their rank for respect, they're nothing but a moron.

As an amphibiious tractor driver and crewchief in Vietnam for 18 months .. a vehicle that can be driven ANYWHERE under ANY conditions would be my top choice for a system I used in the military. As a civiliian lover of offroad excursions there have been times that I wished I had an amtrac so I could reach a spot I saw no other way to get there.

The 81mm Mortar System. Something about having my best friend as the assistant gunner, and myself as gunner manipulating 50 or so pounds together, while trying to keep bubbles level and the sight on target is magical. When that first round drops into the tube, and the baseplate sinks into the ground, the only thing better is seeing the smoke coming from the target.

I was a 31V radio system operator and mechanic so I would have to say my radio as with that I could call in strikes from the air and ground!

M16 Plotting Board.

Missing my M249. Loved that weapon.

240B

My M-1 carbine in Korea because it was small, light and easy to handle just like my Ruger 10-22 rifle today. I carried it with my 30 caliber machine gun by myself when required. I can hit anything with my 22 Ruger (rapid fire or not), it would have made an excellent weapon when I served.

that sweet sweet M9
