Thanks Targan, very useful bits. It comes down however to how quickly you can fire again, I'm not sure the M60 would ever get enough speed of recharge to make it worthwhile. Slow recharge (or low output) works OK for EOD purposes but I can't see an M60 hull used for that.

I've put most of it into deep storage but there are afew articles I've kept on my hard drive, mostly associated with the HEMTT-A3 hybrid military cargo vehicles they built mid-last decade. I'll include what I can as attachments but unfortunately some of the more technical pams are too big for this forum's attachment limit. The ones I can upload are worth a look though.
