I love the photo of him holding the 106 Recoilless rd,
and to his right, mounted on the the jeep is the recoilless rifle,
and 50 cal Single shot spotting rifle.
The short 50 cal spotting case has the same trajectory as the 106 rd,
shoot the 50 cal with tracers, when they landed on target,
launch the 106 rd, direct hit.
I loved the Beehive rd,
when we did the road clearing detail, looking for booby traps/land mines etc,
from the FB, down to the main Hiway, the road clearing crew was always taking sniper fire, from the ridge lines that lined the the dirt road
between the FB and Hwy, about 6 miles.
Swing the 106 to the area, fire a couple of 50 rds,
touch off the 106 and timed BEE hive rd and the sniper fire would stop.
After several times of doing this, the sniper fire ceased..........
You just have to SEE the damage of the BEE Hive rd creates,
UNREAL.......
