So who was driving the jeep with the machine gun in the new Albany area today

[Lammchop93]

I know it had to be an INGO'er. It was a older style jeep with a machine gun mounted on top. It had an orange emergency light on top as well. I saw it in Floyd Knobs around 10am.

Are you sure it wasn't a military (i.e., Army National Guard or USAR) HMMV with a CVKI light on it (for MILES training)? I don't know how you would go about mounting a MaDeuce or an M60 "on top" of a 1/4 ton.

 

[Lammchop93]

The guy driving it was in normal day attire. It was definitely an older jeep. I don't know my history on jeeps, but I'm thinking Vietnam war era.

 

[Mosinguy]

I know about a guy in the Indiana chapter of MVPA who drives an older Jeep with an M60 on it. Might've been him.

 

[Lammchop93]

It was a quick glance, but it did look like an M60. It totally made my morning at work!

Big woop. I have a machine gun mounted Jeep too, but mine's in a holster and concealed.

Haven't you ever watched "Rat Patrol"?

The old M151s, A1s and even the Willy's versions had tripods that could be mounted between and slightly to the rear of the front seats. They accepted drop in pintles for many different MG's.

The M2 could literally flip a jeep if it was fired broadside while the vehicle was turning. I've seen it happen. (yeah, I'm gettin' old)

Gee. Thanks for telling me all about that. I always appreciate people explaining things about the military to me.

Yes, I am quite aware of that. (And my knowledge did not stem from watching "Rat Patrol".) My point was that the OP mentioned a machine gun being mounted "on top" of some sort of 1/4 ton. Hard to mount a machine gun on a canvas top.

[MrSmitty]

"on top" semantics?..................... who cares, it's a cool story and even neater sight!! OP good for you and great for the guy with the MG AND Jeep!

 

[Shroom]

I would have been giggling like a school girl if I would have seen that. Definitely would have made my day.

Wasn't trying to be a douche. Sorry if you took it that way.

Oh and my experience doesn't come from watching Rat Patrol either, I was the M2 gunner that got launched. Thankfully no one was hurt and we all went to greater acts of stupidity later in our military careers.

No problem.

What I always thought was fun were the 1/4 tons with 106 recoiless rifles!

 

[You'll shoot your eye out]

My neighbor drives an old willys jeep with a .30 browning mounted in the back. When the canvass cover is on it you can bet it's the wood mock-up but when tooling around the neighborhood it is a real life .30 cal machine gun. real cool! the women around here wring their hands and cry..... That's pretty cool too!

As in "A little bit Less than a 155" recoilless rifle?

Truth in advertising has never been the military's strong point.
