Staff In Memoriam
Back in the mid to late 80's I was the resident gunsmith for the Army when they were testing a 40mm (grenade launcher)in full auto. It could be mounted to just about anything and although, during testing, did not perform well, I understand it is now a part of the Military Arsenal.
During a discussion of this piece, with another branch of service member, it was noted that this particular gun was said to have been Battle Tested in Vietnam by Navy Seals, from aircraft in 1969.
Having been there, Viet Nam in 1969 as an advisor, and having to use air stikes, I don't recall this gun ever being used or hear of its existance. Can someone enlighten or refresh my deteriating memory.
