I need some information on a weapon used in the 'Nam.  It was
an armored, tracked vehicle with six recoiless rifles, (75mm
or 105mm, not sure which) three to a side.

I'd like the designator of the vehicle, and which units used
it (I'm interested in the period from '70 -'71).  I think this
unit also used the same rifle setup on a jeep.

E-mail will be answered if VM let's me (I HATE this mcahine).

[mod.note:  It's the M50 Ontos.  I'll leave it to someone else
to provide full details. - Bill ]
