Name this vehicle

[Sgt. Rock]

Here is photo Number 3..once again good luck.

 

[SilvrSRT10]

M113 Armored Personnel Carrier with a Gatling gun mounted to it.

Otherwise known as M163 VADS.

 

[Bigdaddy]

All I know that I don't remember seeing that when I went it back in 1972.

 

[TheOl55]

That was fast Dave.

 

[SilvrSRT10]

That was fast Dave.

Thanks, I was on a mission. And since it was U.S. equipment it made it easier. That wasn't something I had stored in my memory. I had to do some research.

It was a lucky guess that it wasn't a tank and actually an APC.

I love a Gatling gun no matter what it's mounted on. The A10 Warthog/Thunderbolt is one of my favorite.

Here's a M163 in action.

Yes we have another winner!..photo labeled Vietnam circa 1969. But I sure wouldn't be standing straight up if there was VC in the bushes. Thanks for the video too..one bad ass gun.

Ok my turn

I'm in the middle:

The mule was neat all you had to do to work on it was turn it on its side. Next one looks like a tank retriever. LT you crew looks squared away.

Not a tank retriever but you're close.

We had a bunch of great Marines out there putting it through its paces. The pics are from the final testing in 2006-2007 @ 29 Palms.

Oh and we started with 3 months @ Ft Knox...

 

[SilvrSRT10]

The first picture looks like a mine (IED) sweeper of some sort.

Yes, that's a full width mine plow attachment on the front of the vehicle.

It's the same vehicle in both pics; just a dozer blade attached in the second.

 

[Silver-Bolt]

I have two more.

 

[Jo6pak]

Ok my turn

M1 Abrams ABV or Grizzly?

 

[kwo51]

Gama goat! We sunk it at MT school when they told us it was unstoppable.

 

[cce1302]

M1 Abrams ABV or Grizzly?

Yeah ABV. way too much fun to drive :rockit:

 

[SilvrSRT10]

Yeah ABV. way too much fun to drive :rockit:

But, but it doesn't have a big gun.

 

[cce1302]

But, but it doesn't have a big gun.

No, but it makes a path for the big guns to come through and do their thing.

Everybody loves the engineers :Big Laugh::rockit:

 

[kwo51]

Would not want to be inside it when it plowed a 500lb ied.
