HUH!!!???........

DAMN, got me all excited there, all for a 'MULE'!?

Neat photo though!

I know theres photos and film footage 'out there' somewhere, of just that. All Six 'MAJORS' firing simultaneously. I just have to find them.

BTW,....that is an M40A2, 106mm Recoilless Rifle firing.

Thanks

Isn't that a Mighty Mite? - wheel hubs, windscreen and engine breather tube make it awfully similar to the one at the museum here.
