NSW RHIB - M2 .50 cal Machine Gun
U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Robyn Gerstenslager
SWWC sailors man a NSW RHIB (Naval Special Warfare Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat).
Note the M2 50 cal belt-fed machine gun mounted on the forward station.
MK-19 40mm Grenade Launchers can also be fitted.
The NSW RHIB features 2 mounts, 1 forward and 1 rear, giving the SWCC operators a lot of firepower at their disposal.
The RHIB's relative lack of armor is offset by its speed and firepower.
