UW, They were, definitely, too heavy for me to carry. We did have one in our weapons platoon that was tripod mounted. They took 3 guys to man each one. One for the gun, one for the tripod, and one for the ammo. I think it was three 30s in that platoon, along with a couple of mortars. If I remember right, each squad had a BAR. The biggest guy in the squad got to carry that one.
