Looks like the Oshkosh M-ATV. I read about those in Car and Driver.

We had the same setup in our M-RAPS but we all hated them for what we did. So we rolled in 1151s. Very few times did we those heavy a** things. Must be a pain in the mountains over there as well? Dont worry though i just got back this past Thanksgiving and will be in Afghanistan in 5 months or so i think. I love the adrenaline and especially when i get to use the .50 or kicking down someones door with a nice flash

Must admit the adrenaline is almost better than sex. But so is being airborne. My next trip is to Afganistan.

I loved my 240b. Doesn't do as much damage as the 50cal, put more rounds down range and it's lighter.

I agree! I loved our 240B on our 1114's in Iraq, but now that I switched to the dark side (warrant/CH47 pilot) I love watching and shooting the 240G with tracers at night! And Thanks to everyone showing your support for us on this thread!! It means alot.

Yes I agree Thank You All. :flag:

240B is a great weapon. You can get on Target a little bit easier than the .50 as well and lay down a lot. Only bad thing about some .50s is they like to jam or the timing can be slightly off and sounds like crap

Best thing I can say about the 50 is you don't even have to hit the target, just be a few inches off and still blows it away.
