Machine Gun Mount for Bed

This needs to be moved to the hilux section.

 

Just don’t be so political.

 

K...

 

Bed stiffeners and a big metal plate under it, I don't think the composite bottom will hold up to the recoil, even if it has dampeners. Thats what the old metal beds were good for.

Plus he’s going to have to cut off the shark fin, that thing gets in the way of everything.

 

See I don’t know man. I feel like these beds would hold up better. Just a feeling though. Absolutely no science to back this up for all the “where is your data” guys.

 

Some posted about cracking corners here, with no stiffeners and a bed rack. I had to push on my bedside corners sometimes if parked on a side hill to square it enough for the tailgate to close before I got stiffeners, too.

 

Iraq has gunshops that sell them,not kidding.

 

No its Mexico now.

 

I've seen WWII Jeeps with dummy M2's in the bed.

If you really want a M/G, and live in a free state, there is a process. They are rare/expensive, but available. I've owned 2 legal machine guns.

Mounting a real one in your truck and driving around with it is pretty dumb though. Just saying.

We had a dude harassing us with sniper fire for weeks with an old Enfield in a-stan

 

Because here we are talking about guns and manly stuff, not bed stiffeners and feelings.

 

I was saying that myself lol.

I like hearing about the practical experience with the old stuff and how it compares to our stuff. An old milsurp vehicle with a machine gun would be sick.

@US Marine , were you around for the switch from Jeep to Humvee?

 

Nope when I got out in 84 we still were using M151 MUTTS and Gamma Goats

 

Cool. I'll have to Google those. I'm a Mechwarrior, so Army Bradley crew dude. Kinda like an 0311, but more fat lol

 

Barrel Sight Relationship training faillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll :}

 

Two of the most deadliest military vehicles to ride in
