Good morning y’all,
Here’s a fun weapon to Spray and Pray with. Each of our Bradley Fighting Vehicles had 6 Firing Ports. These were the early generation of BFVs.
The M231 attached to these ports. There was a brass catcher/vacuum hose that attached to the carrying handle.
They fired from the open bolt position. The selector switch was Safe/Auto. The firer would look through the viewing window and walk the tracers onto the target.
We fired straight tracers out of them. The vehicle was buttoned up (all hatches closed). Riflemen in the back troop compartment of the vehicle would fire them as the vehicle maneuvered through the objective.
Firing one dismounted was difficult. The cyclic rate was 1200RPM! To slow it down to where it was easier to control while firing we removed the center spring from the recoil mechanism ( there are 3 springs in the recoil mechanism).
Anyone else here ever use one?
