Hi
I would be happy to find some close-up pics of the Halon fire extinguishers that are carried by USMC AAVs (and maybe by other vehicles..) in their troop compartment : some are fixed (17 pounds) and others are portable (2.75 and 5 pounds) . Dimensions would be OK too ...

TIA
Frenchy

BTW I'm still looking for AAV TMs

Sorry,
I thought i had a Operators manual for the Bradley, but i dont. I am also missing 1 parts manual for the Bradley and its probably the one that shows the brake down of the Halon System. I will keep looking and if i remember tomorrow, I will bring my camera and take some pictures of the Halon Sysytem inside the Bradley I have in my bay.

Im not sure if they are the same or not. I Know that the main gun is the same. There are a couple of marines floating around here somewhere, they might be able to help you out.

Oh, I forgot. You know that guy that built that 1/16 scale LAV, he might be of some help to you or even the pictures on his sight. The bad thing is, I cant remember the sight address. I will do a search thrwe the threads to find it.
