Quad 50

[Anasazi]

I was thinking how antiquated the Army I was in is compared to today. I found this pic of a quad 50, the platform for John Moses Browning's formidable 'Ma Deuce' - something you wouldn't want to assault without artillary on your side. Then I remembered my old friend Joe Peacock who manned a 40 mm 'Duster' at a fire base in Nam. I'll see if I can't find a pic of one of those too.

This was my 'carry' artillery for a while -

Later I moved on to the 106 mm jeep mounted RR ...... my ears haven't stopped ringing since.

Here's the 'Duster' -

Saw one tucked away in the town square in Demming New mexico some years ago ..... by now they probably melted it down for a monument to the unknown peace weenie. :dunno:
