No quad mount required, Jason. The way Daniel used to tell it, he had a twin mount (.50 BMG) with one left-hand feed and one right-hand feed. Add to that a couple of M-60s and a blooper, along with personal weapons and you have a pile of firepower.
Standard procedure was to run with one truck in the lead and one at the tail of the convoy. If there was an ambush, the gun trucks ran to that location and engaged the bad guys until the convoy cleared the ambush site. Didn't always work out that way. Charlie didn't always co-operate.
Uglyranger, sounds like you were there, maybe? Nice photo. I'll see if i can send it to Daniel
Been there, done that and got the T shirt.
The 523rd Trans Co tried to run 10 cargo trucks to each gun truck. So they were dispersed throughout the convoy.
We are aloud the real thing here but at $15,000-$20,000 ea you gotta have alot of $$$$$$$$$ not to mechen $1.00-$1.50 per round that adds up real fast. Once I get the fire truck done I think a gun truck will be next on my list. So all you out there with pic start sending them in. I will be useing a M35A2 so any pics of these truck whould be great. and some inside detail one for the layout and equipment needed for props. Thanks
