Would like to add/correct the info in this message. Am in a recon cavalry
unit in a light division (NG) of the 29th Div. We are outfitted with HMMVWs
in the ground troop. The vehicle is not turreted, Rather, it has a hatch in
the top of the " armored" versions. When opened, the hatch has an internal
ring that allows it to rotate inside the outer fixed ring that is part of the
Kevlar top. The gunner sits/is supported in a nylon sling attached to the
inner ring. He stands in the deck between the right and left rear seats.
Although initially armed with the M-60 MG, we now have vehicle amed also with
the .50 cal M2 HB MG and the Mark 19 40mm grenade launcher. Both of these
alternatives use the same top and non turret ring configuration. Hope this
helps.
Mike
