Hey Guys ,

Was the M-134 mounted on HUMVEES ever used in combat ?

Yup. Spec Ops type stuff.

Need one of those for the turrets you made.

Yup. Spec Ops type stuff.

For when you have to shoot all the bullets.

Thanks for the input guys !!

A dead giveaway of Army SOF is the "mini" gun truck. For some reason, NSW brass didn't like the M-134 and didn't buy them for the troops.

Let me correct you a tiny bit on this...
Talking to my cousin, who is with the US Army's 1st cavalry, he said that the brass didn't not like it, but didn't love it, and also they couldn't get enough funds to outfit a bunch of ground-pounder vehicles.
