Now that is what I call fire power on a truck. That makes that jeep with a fifty on it look really weak.

. Great photo.

kinda makes you think twice about tailgating

I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing on of these babies in action a few years back at the Hiram / Maxim machine gun shoot held at the inventors home town of Dover Foxcroft , Maine. It was a awsome display of firepower, they had several cars and a bus at the back of a gravel pit and I can tell you it shreaded them in very short order ,very, very impressive, I would not want to be on the receiving end of that puppy

OH yea forgot to mention they had it mounted on a trailer.

I have sat in one of those gun turrets that was on the back of a half track. The guns were not functional though

The armor plate that protects the gunner leaves a lot to be desired.

We are all going to the Military Odyssey show in two weeks time, there are plans to fire a quad 50cal (on a M16 Halftrack) at a German plane in the main battle (blanks only), should be good to see, Ã‚Â£2000 in ammo though
