Hi guys,
does anyone know if the old quad .50 mg's have been used in Iraq, perhaps on an guntruck or are these mg's totally out of stock in the US Army ?

None used in Iraq. They have been out of Army stocks since teh mid-late '70s.

Too bad the M163 Vulcan is gone as well it sure would help break up a road side ambush in Iraq at 3000 rpm of 20mm. You coud place the trailer mount in the bed of a 5 ton if no more 113 mounted ones are around.
