Hi people!

Besides the "Crows", can the Buffalo use other type of gun ? (like M2 and MK19) Do you have any pics ?

Thank you guys !

AFAIK, the roof of the Buffalo is not designed to be fitted with a gun ring. The CROWS doesn't require as much modifications...

Hi Marco,

it would make no sense to expose a crewmember when you can use an OWS. Also, the OWS has some abilities (Thermal image, camera) that would make a simple m.g. or AGL unneccesary.

Good question Andreas.

I think I saw just one and it isn't so clear about the correct position.

Frenchy ?

Cheers !

Left side of the roof in place of the second hatch, behind the driver's one.

Hello,

You have some good pictures who show the location of the CROWS system and the details of his base in the Tankograd book N°3011. The Blast Models CROWS BL35153K need a little update for using it on a Buffalo. You have to remove the squared block and replace it with a squared plate with some bolts
