Like I said before, I saw one of these mounted on a vehicle recently on the news and had no idea what it was. I forgot about it, until the article on the explosion in Tennessee. It really drives home just how out of the loop you really are when something like this emerges into your consciousness and it has been around for over thirty years in one form or the other.

From what I could gather from the articles, this weapon is not employed by the Marine Corps, but I can't understand why, unless the reason is fiscal.

The ammo bill has to be really high.
