You can't have enough frags for trench cqb. It's a bit of a toss on belt fed as you lose some agility if you are on point.
Agreed. I did frequently have a MK46 when doing PSD (we often had a counter assault team when doing our movements, even when doing low vis in our armored BMW/Benz cars, there would be 3 or 4 shooters armed with belted weapons in one victor). Hence the belt fed comment on those crazy looking trench patterns (like wtf, who decided building fighting positions in that manner was a good idea??). Anyhow, the MK46 is easy to operate standing from the shoulder, I do agree that a rifle/carbine setup is more fluid and faster. Still, fighting in that bullshit I'd want to have the rof and ammo capacity of a Mk46 or analogue.
I also agree regarding the footage coming out of this war. My best friend is still over there, co commanding a unit in the Ukrainian army now, not the foreign volunteer shit show unit this time. He's been wearing a camera, so when he's back he's going to have a lot of crazy footage too I'll wager.
I remember when they tried banning contractors/psd from even possessing frags, much less using them.
Everyone thought it was a swell idea, and complied....
