Nice top pic. You don't see too manty pics of the old M1.50 cal. Probably a "Colt" made gun too.
Bottom, guardin' the groceries...and hangin' out.
Top pic, gunner is armed with an apple. :madsmile:

I don't know what it is but...don't think an apple.Quote:

I think the .50 gunner is holding the end of a hooked tubular body support bracket that is fixed to the left side of the gun mount. It must be a posed photo anyway as the tommy gunner has not cocked his gun.
If they are on AA duty then the holes a bit crowded by one as you'd need a No.2 for the ammo can with a runner to keep up the supply, a full 50 cal can would not be a very light weight piece of kit to carry.
A nice picture though.
Yes of course. You just seldom get to see the M1.50 set up and in the field.Quote:
