[OT] Re: Co-Axial MG?

The co-axial MG is rigidly mounted alongside the main
gun. The commanders gun is mounted on top and is comletely different. I
beleive the standard American gun for this is not the M60 but a version of the
Belgian MAG - the British armies beloved 'Gimpy' or
GPMG.

The M-1 family actually has three machine guns.  The co-axial machine
gun and the one mounted on the loader's turret ring are both versions
of the M-240, the license-built FN MAG.

The one on the commander's cupola is the beloved M2 HB.50 caliber heavy
machinegun.

Which is illegal to shoot at oposing enemy forces correct? Because there is no
chance for survival. It's true.

The last paragraph is the key, as far as I'm concerned.

BS!!!!!!!!!!   Think about it, you can use  a flame-thrower,a bee hive
round, DPICM,so why not a Ma Duce? Here is another one for you, it is
perfectly legal to shoot up airborne troops in the air because it's there
primary means of egress into battle. You can not shoot up a pilot that has
ejected from a disabled aircraft
however........

John would be the n-ewe-clear option, but fortunately Roger got there

Damo, just wanted you to know that *I* saw the smiley, that I figured you
recalled all the conversation on this from before, that you might snag one or
two others, but was surprised how many fell 'into the trap'.

Lot of that going around. *shrug*

Now, how about a voluntary ban on further ovinal puns until the run up to the
next ECC.

We have evidence that the Laserlight Empire is continuing to conduct
underground pun tests, and we cannot allow a
groan-and-clutch-head-piteously gap!
