Well I remember correctly from my TOW Missile Course, the Missile Guidance Set (MGS) will work off of batteries or it can slaved to a vechicle electrical system, in my training we used the M113 or the German Iltis, I am guessing you have do so re wiring to have it off the APU of the M1, but dos'nt the bradley have a APU?

Thanks, guys.

If we're talking about just the gun itself, not the whole turret assembly, what sort of power requirement is involved?

A flashlight would have enough juice to run the solenoid for the firing pin but the chain mech to pull the ammo belt through is another story.

Rip an old lawn mower apart and there's a motor to run a few of the mechanicals. A civilian generator should produce enough for the electrical systems.
It wouldn't be pretty, but with a sufficiently imaginative and skilled team of techs, any obstacle could be overcome.

In most of the games I've been involved with in the past few years, scrapyards have been very valuable resources. In fact, one game in Krakow had the local "powers that be" reward the PCs with not weapons, ammo, food, fuel, medical supplies, etc, but with 48 manhours on the ORMO's scrapyard. Whatever they could pry loose was theirs. The players treated this right as worth more than gold!

well according to the vehicle guides the 242 can be mounted on a humvee and function so unless i missed an APU in the specs a 24V battery would be sufficient.(and as portable as a G/VLLD )

That was the HMMWV Fire Support Varient with a Red-T turret. It was an interesting concept but I have heard that there were issues with it breaking the armored windows and deffening the crew.
