It's a standard M231 FPW. But I'm surprised to see it being used in such a manner. When I was in, the Army was quite hinky about how the M231 was employed -- it was a firing port weapon and that was that.

M231, exactly, and as per what Paul said interesting to see it being used as a TC's personal defense weapon up in the turret (note 550 dummy cord, too). Back during the invasion, TC's MTOE weapon was an M9, which helps explain it, too.

Doesn't suprise me in the least. When we got there we discovered that even though we was armoued cav, we did a lot of dismounted patrols. At one point we was clean out of 5.56 and did a 12 man patrol with 4 aks and 8 240's.

Turned out the only way we could get 556 and 9mil was by buying it off of the Haji's.

"What. Are. You. People. Doing. To. My. Army?!?!?!"

That's what i tought... is it true that an RPG can punch through one side and blow-up on the inside and the explosion be contained by it's armor, creating a box of deep fried squadies?

So if I had been in a mech unit I'd have seen this in the Bradley?

Maybe. My Bradley time was on M3s, but I've met a number of 11M's (or 11B's after the Mikes went away) who were on Bradleys and had a very minimal knowledge of the things. I think in a lot of units they got shoved into some mostly forgotten corner of the arms room and such.

Bariga,

Man, that's an awesome site! I run a T2K game through rpol.net and Morrow Project through email. Always on the lookout for good "mood" pictures!

Once the A2 mods went in? Almost never, I would guess. I spent my Bradley time on A0s and A1s.
