Close Area Suppression Weapon (was Company Area Suppression Weapon)

[GK .Dundas]

Next you know, we'll be divesting the the C6 GPMG to pay for vehicle mounts....

I seem recall sometime in the 60's SOMEBODY decided we didn't need the .50s and they all disappeared . A relatively short time later SOMEONE else decided that was a bad idea and we purchased  god knows how many thousands of .50 browning M 2s .And if one urban legend is true  a fair number of them were some of the MGs We 'd originally sold in the first place.

Kind of like our Chinooks then? It's nice to hang onto those traditions.

Yes.  He is known as a "00010-01 Infantryman"  ;D

Looking at the pictures, what is that to the left of the tripod? Looks like a spare leg.

I can hear the characteristic now:

"Man portable for short distances"

But who decides what a short distance is?????

The front tripod leg has two "feet".  One for low mount (which you see on the ground) and one for high mount, which sticks forward.

I thought it was a club for beating the No.3 with if they can't keep up on the march to battle  ;D

Now we just need pictures of the ammo cans that you will need to properly employ it as a fire base.

I'll have to go buy a wide-angle lens.  That or you can just see them from Google-Earth ;D

 

[ArmyRick]

Now I can make money off this....

I am going to sell to the army a damn good dead Lift routine to build some serious strength because thats the only damn way your going to move that around.

Did we buy any sort of vehicle mounts for that thing?

 

[OldSolduer]

Indulge me here>

A new trade will be required.

Exclusively for clones of this woman:

Dibbs on that quality control job.

No.  Having said that, however, new vehicles may have an AGLS on them, but they aren't the weapons purchased.  These are all ground-mounts only.

These guys had a vehicle mount but apparently it didn't help much: ;D

Some fecal cephalic cubicle dweller who'll never have to move it.

I thought I remembered that is was so, but it is so retarded that I just had to ask again.
