D. Doyle Book Discussion
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Good case in point is the conversion from M73/219 MG to M240. The M60A3 was produced with the M240 whereas the M60A1 had to be upgraded with an MWO which was dated in the 80's. Budgets play a lot into this too.

Just a warning, Joe, shot-across-the-bow thing...you're risking a ritual "banning" just for invoking the memory of the M73/219 MG.


Hated those things. Evil or Very Mad And better not to even mention the M85 .50cal. I still wake up in the middle of the night feeling the CLP dribbling down the back of my neck during gunnery. Shocked

Another rite of passage on an M60. All that CLP/Break Free accumulated in that dished out area under the weapon. Had to go some where when the TC max elevated to clear the range Laughing

I am one of the few, if only, in this forum who loved the M85. But again, my time was in the 80's on the M60 and just about all the bugs had been worked out.

In 1976 when my Cav unit was firing Table Vlll at Graf we only had one M219 coax for the whole troop to use. That was 18 Sheridans! All the rest of the coax were broken.

I just think the M85 should have used the same ammo as the M2.

It did, only the links were different, used M15 style instead of the M2/M9 used with the M2 MG



Looks like a NATO 7.62 link on steroids Shocked

Joe,

Note to aspiring M60A2 gunners: Be sure gunner's hatch is closed before TC presses "enter" key on M85. There was no brass catcher, unless the gunner's shirt counts.

Can you say, "HOT"? Thought you could. Wink
