Which system can deliver massive direct fire or indirect fire from hidden positions?

• A. MK19
• B. SMAW
• C. .50 Cal
• D. Javelin

Answer: (A)

The ability to deliver a heavy, rapid volley of fire from a concealed position comes from a crew-served system that can spray a wide area and also reach targets behind cover. The MK19 is a 40mm automatic grenade launcher that fires large-volume grenades in rapid bursts, and it can be mounted or placed in a protected position to keep the crew out of sight. Its rounds can be used in direct fire on targets in view, or fired at higher angles to hit enemies behind obstacles, giving true indirect-fire capability from cover. This combination of high firepower and the ability to arc rounds over obstacles is what makes it the best fit for both massive direct and indirect fire from hidden positions. The other weapons are designed mainly for direct-fire or precision use: SMAW is a portable rocket launcher for direct-fire/armor work, the .50 cal is a long-range direct-fire machine gun, and Javelin is a guided missile for specific targets, not for saturating an area from concealment.
