Ryan Loggins, an ammunition control specialist with 10th Mountain Division, fires the Mark 19 40mm grenade machine gun using the new XM152 mounted machine gun optic. (Sgt. Matthew Connor\/Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis optic is important because we need first-round hit probability,\u201d said Tyler Griffeth, a training instructor with TACOM. \u201cA lot of times with the Mark 19 using the iron sights, the soldiers are really focused on the iron sight when we really need the big picture, and that\u2019s the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis now switches it to where the soldier can be more threat-focused, which will increase their first-round hit probability and their overall lethality. Now that technology like this becomes available to the soldier, we\u2019re going to get out there and get more lethal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following familiarization training, soldiers engaged targets on the range with the new optic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI feel like with this new optic, I\u2019m very confident in the Mark 19 system, it was much easier to hit the farther ranges and was able to destroy the target as needed,\u201d Sgt. Trever Linberg, a helicopter repairman with the 10th Mountain Division. \u201cWith this optic, I could qualify much easier, it took a lot less rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new optic, which adds a three-times magnifier, was used with the Mk 19 grenade
