I just realized that my beloved M60 was the only AFV in the US Army who fielded the M85 50 cal. Our tankers used the M85, and scouts used the M2. Firing those two weapon systems next to each other really highlights the difference in rate of fire. The M85 spits out rounds at almost double the rate. That high ROF is fun, but when you gotta hump your own ammo...

Anyhow I am not surprised young people are hesitant to join the military when you can end up in a completely different role than the one you've enlisted for.

We had the Avenger ADA systems guarding FOB Danger/Speicher in Tikrit (Speicher moved later and the old speicher became Ironhorse) back in 2003. They were also set up at Anaconda/Balad and VBC. They are a good weapon system. The M6 Linebacker was also with us during our push in 2003 and That system started replacing the Avengers. Now, the M-SHORAD is going to replace the Avenger system as the main ADA system for the Army (the M6 Linebacker was retired in 2006). The Avenger system is being pushed to the National Guard and Host Nations. What the Avenger can do, The M-SHORAD does as well with the Caveat that it has a 30mm gun instead of the .50 Cal and It is also equipped with the HELLFIRE missle which has a range of 11KM.

Anything with the stinger is good, its got a proven track record in the middle east and in ukraine. its one of those weapons that are timeless, the military has no plans of retiring it and they don't have good reason too, its a relatively cheap weapon(compared to bigger sams) and effective at doing its job

Actually thats incorrect. the Avenger is being replaced with another ADA system (more than likely M-SHORAD Stryker). It was sad that they retired the linebacker when that vehicle was heavily armored compared to the Avenger even though it only had 1 stinger pod. However, It had a MANPADS team in the back of the linebacker that could've deployed in a moments notice. Yes, the Avenger was highly mobile due to being able to be sling loaded in country and flown in C-17's tied down. The Avenger is being sent to Host Nation countries and being pushed to the National Guard as the M-SHORAD is taking its place.

Successful prototypes were also built that utilized Starstreak and Mistral missiles alongside the stinger missile pods.

Ukraine proved that Maverick drones are too small to be detected until too late. They can fly at tree top level and by the time they are detected, they are on top of you releasing their bomb.
