[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2729906, member: 101791"] Interesting input. South Vietnam should be covered in brass of all types. I have seen 3 troops on line dumping ammo out. In area of 650,000 rounds per troop. That is about 2,000,000 in day and generally less time than that. More than 1 barrel was changed out on the 50's during the day. Bring behind the APC or Tanks, I watched more than one barrel in the 50's sending out flipping trasher rounds down line. Barrels red hot, and bent down. Those 50 were on hell of a pieces of equipment. I never learn how take down a 50 and put it back together. I often wished I did. Being a Medic I didn't see the value in it at the time. MISTAKE!. The other thing was more if not all tanks and apc had two 50 cal actions on board. I think the best one was. We had to cover somebody else fire support base one night. I noted as we pulled in there was a 50 setting on tripod. I thought myself they would leave that out during the day. The next moring as we were pulling out, I noted that the 50 was gone and the tripod was still there. I wonder where the 50 went? I still laugh about it even today. 🤣 🤣 [/QUOTE]
