Gold plated m60

[crowsnest2002]

At the Rock island armory museum if anyone would want to ever take a look it has a huge collection of military arms.

Another one I liked.

Hell I like them all. Even though the m60 is made of unserviceable parts I would love to own such a beast.

I had to hump one of them around for too long to ever want to see one again... :

A kid in Basic Training was able to manhandle that thing one-handed. One of only two people that I ever saw do that, in person.

Big tall black kid, from the streets of Milwaukee. Grew up a hard life, and had the grit to show for it.

Actually a quite nice guy by the time we left there.... the military truly did have a positive effect on him.

While I loved shooting it, I'll leave the humping to somebody tougher (or dumber ) than me!

At least mine was in a nice swivel mount on the side of my UH-34.Even the 200 rd ammo can clipped to the side. Tom

What is a UH-34?

 

[M-61]

Helicopter, cuznguido

 

[cuznguido]

Well thanks. I knew it was a helicopter, but what kind is it. I have heard of most of them but never a UH 34. Just wondered what it looks like, or its nickname.

Here is a view of the UH-34

Oct 08, 2008 · This helicopter is retired from the Marine squadron HMM-362. From 1965 to 1968 this helicopter served in Vietnam and still has 54 bullet hole patches.

I recently read that sometimes it was called 'The Shuddering $h!thouse"

Soon as I saw the pic, I had a DUH moment. Have seen lots of those now that my brain has awakened. Thanks.
