Yep, CG even damaged an Argentine Corvette!!

A bit weighty!!! I carried the bl*ody the M2. 32lbs!! (The M3 is some 23lbs)

Plus my myself and the number 2, frequently hauled 4 rounds. Back when I was a Platoon Sergeant I watched a very stressed young soldier throw the CG into a drainage ditch, and seek to continue without it.

We had a quick discussion as the wisdom of his actions and then he then went in search of the missing item, which was successfully retrieved. - so yes, weight is an issue!!
