I think there were three different configurations )at least one mounted the IR scope over the receiver, another under the barrel and one used a vertical fore-grip (this made some sense as the M-3 was selective fire like the M-2) The Gear added weighed as much as the carbine had by itself.
Still, must've been like witchcraft to its operators! Thanks for the info., I had no idea.
