Yes! 'exactly like'. Sometimes yer reely ONTOSumpin"

Quote:

Ontos, officially the Rifle, Multiple 106 mm, Self-propelled, M50, is an American light armored tracked anti-tank vehicle developed in the 1950s.

It mounted six 106 mm manually loaded M40 recoilless rifles as its main armament, which could be fired in rapid succession against single targets to increase the probability of a kill. Although the actual caliber of the main guns was 105 mm, it was designated 106 mm to prevent confusion with the ammunition for the 105 mm M27 recoilless rifle, which the M40 replaced.

It was produced in limited numbers for the U.S. Marines after the U.S. Army cancelled the project. The Marines consistently reported excellent results when they used the Ontos for direct fire support against infantry in numerous battles and operations during the Vietnam War.

I was sure it had to be guns with those lands and grooves visbile in the fore ends. Seems this M 50 was used with some effect.

I sometimes wonder why some successful ideas that have proven their effectiveness, are given up. I would imagine this thing would prove valuable nowadays also for Ukraine.
Same applies to the A-10 Warthog.

Markus

^ No.
Nothing with emitting or detecting signals

"Hint":
This has been invented shortly after the invention of the overseas telegraphing system from italian Marconi, but has nothing to do with it.
