I am a civilian; but, once a year I help with field training exercises for a local Army unit by role-playing during the annual FTX. Usually I play an Afghan woman "friendly"; but, this time they let me play OPFOR (the enemy) and the Captain thought it would be funny to let me have a bigger toy to play with. The thing weighs 17lbs and they were really impressed that I was able to take off running through the brush with it!


I sure wish I could've shot it with live ammo!!


Here's a better photo of the SAW and you can see it in more detail:

What base do you role-play at?
