​​@@magicpyroninja it's still a solid concept though, and it definitely beats having to carry a recoiless rifle or a bring out a tank when you can just put a recoiless rifle on a tank, although I do agree that 6 of them is a bit too much but hey that's six area clearing shots before having to reload it's literally the revolver of the tank world it's reliable, and six shots is all you need, had they further developed this concept like I can see them eventually making an advanced version of it in the near future where it would have maybe decreased the recoiless rifles from 6 to 4 and they would have given it an auto loader or at least an enclosed loading turret with a proper fire control system other than a tracer from a 50cal and maybe replaced the m1919 with an M2 to supplement the lack of the afformentioned 50 cal tracer rifle, like if it's a proven and effective concept they should further develop into it, strike the iron while it's hot because this is one of the rarer times where a farmer and grunt build actually works miraculously and it's such a shame it's just collecting dust in a museum and no other weapon comes close to its effectiveness nowadays, like this would have been the perfect weapon to lend to Ukraine considering their Russian tank outbreak, like imagine these agile fckers modernized to today's standard with advanced IR and targeting system all hiding in the bushes sniping tanks and vehicles from afar and when it's time to liberate a town proceed to use the beehive rounds and pepper the settlements with flechettes and make every drafted Russian regret not having surrendered in advanced, the battle for Ukraine would and could end earlier if these machines were further developed into something more viable as a tank destroyer and mobile artillery since this was put on a light tank it would be very mobile indeed

And now it’s my head cannon that they used the recoil from the guns to pull that off….and now I wanna see it in action

​@@AllantitanThey were recoilless rifles. The chamber end was vented to the rear to eliminate the recoil.

​@@christinebonner2210They would have still had a little bit of recoil, since the back end was vented rather than a completely open tube. Not much, but a tiny bit

Absolutely correct... Read that book as well... He also mentioned that the Ontos was lightly armored so they would move a Sherman tank into the street in front of the building they were targeting and fire the machine guns at the target while an Ontos was screaming up the street... When the Ontos was in position the Sherman would move out of the way and the Ontos would fire at the target and then the Sherman would move back into position as mobile cover while the Ontos got the hell out of the area....

@@dvldog_ I think you're referring to M48 Patton medium tanks, or the M41 Walker Bulldog light tanks, both were in service at that time, the M48 with the USMC and the M41 with ARVN. Sherman's were out of use by the US and never used by the ARVN.

Ah yes acceptable amount of danger in reloading.

Like the steps at the SOI barracks say "Kill Something Every Day" The Ontos just made it easy to meet that requirement. SF

I always imagine Marines reading their Mark 19's a bedtime story after cleaning it.

When no one else will use monster weapons that are too ugly or dangerous, you can always trust our sweet little crayon eaters to man up and treat them properly.

Thank you for your service Sir. My brother is a Marine. Hoorah!

We used to do that during exhibition firings for VIPs. Even the single 106 on a gun jeep will shred the wooden ammo crates down to toothpicks.

Last one I saw was mounted on an old jeep in Pakistan, they had just completed development of a new enhanced-accuracy round with a two-stage warhead with an extended detonator-on-a-stick to defeat the then-new explosive reactive armor. Designed by Pakistani nuclear engineers. The new "very long range" projectile required a new spotting round too. Half the dispersion of the U.S. anti-armor round, and a significantly flatter trajectory! Why? Because one of the engineers got bored working at a power plant after helping build some of Pakistan's first nuclear weapons, and someone mentioned their Army was going to get rid of the 106 recoilless rifles he used to crew, as obsolete. So he made it not-obsolete. I am pretty sure we could have used the F* out of some Ontos in Afghanistan and Iraq.

That vehicle annoys me. Remove it!

The only issue i could see the marine leadership having with this thing would be its lack of transforming capabilities. I mean most Marine combat or transportation vehicles seem to have that multipurpose capability. I mean you got planes that hover (the harrier), cargo planes that can VTOL, and tanks that swim 😂, but i guess using a gun to aim your gun could also fall into the marines wheel house, these are the kinds of guys that have the MARK 19 after all😂😂😂😂😂

historically accurate

​@The Fat Electrician how about a video on the t114

To be fair, the Army sent a bunch of procurement specialists in starched khakis from an air conditioned pentagon office to view the test firing; while the Marines sent people soaked in saltwater and covered in wet sand. So the responses were something like: Marines: It went BOOM! MUAHAHAHA. Followed by much head butting with their steel pots. Army: It went BOOM! Nobody said it would go BOOM! Why would anyone want it to go BOOM? If the Army sent mud covered line doggies instead of Remington Raiders, they might have joined in on the maniacal laughter and headbutting.

Yup...Improvise, Adapt, Overcome...aka, "when it absolutely, positively MUST go bye bye in the stupidest yet most effective manner possible" the Marines will take 300 ;) Semper Fi

I hate Army office POGs.

this is true lol

That's basically how we got the Thompson. Army didn't want the 1928, said it wasn't accurate enough and burned through ammo to fast. The Marines bought them and used them to good enough effect the army later changed their minds.

Shit it’s basically “I’m using it because I’m not scared and my Steel nuts aren’t gonna carry themselves”

It was the first air support to fly during the Battle of the Bulge.

Wasn't he supposed to be an "air taxi" for senior officers but decided being bored during meeting was for losers. New plan, drop off general, 'borrow' some bazooka ammo, 'relocate' ammo to German positions, return to take general home. Still being a "delivery" pilot if anyone asks.
