Thanks!

Can these excellent weapons systems also be used on anything else? I remember coming across a proposed Leo 2 Urban warfare variant that had something vaguely like this on the turret roof. I can't remember which weapons position, but the point is can they be used elsewhere in other militarys' service?

This is a mount used on British soft-skin vehicles. Land Rover WMIKs, Jackals, etc.



GMG is also used in remote weapon stations FLW 200. These are fitted to various German vehicles, including Leo 2s.

Live Resin also produces several FLW stations in 1/35 scale.

40mm Granatmachinenwaffe is used in multiple roles in the German army. first, it was installed on the KMW 1530 OWS on the Fennek. Later, KMW developed a tripod mount for infantry support, used mainly by the Fallschirmjäger. Fallschirmjäger also installed the GMW on their Wolf trucks. Main use is on the FLW 200 RWS. RWS 200 is installed on Fennek A2, Dingo 1 and 2 and GTK Boxer. FLW 200 on Leopard 2 are only trials, not operational vehicles.

Thanks for the info Hans-Hermann.
