The MK19 is a very effective tool on the Transportation Side of the Army. Our unit is currently deployed in Iraq and Kuwait and we take a MK19 on every convoy. As far as the issue of using a round after it has been locked and later on been cleared and is now seperated from the belt this is true that round should be turned in to be re-sleeved although there is an improvised way of re-loading that seperated round, we ran into the issue of not being able to get more ammo for our MK19's. The method is NOT in the manuals but should be, it is safe for both the weapon and the soldier that is loading it.
