the new bike in the danish army :lol: photo is from Afghanistan, found on this forum: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/sh ... 661&page=2
Actually, that looks a lot like a photo of a real prototype. I recall seeing a photo of a sidecar rig that was a simple platform like shown here. The MG gunner knelt on the platform, which was attached to the bike. I believe the set-up was pre-WWI. Of course, they didn't have AT rockets then!
Right. But a Harley would be cool if the enemy's attacking you and you have to fight back. Maybe a Harley frame with a silenced engine?
I've got a better one than that..... The 'Ferret Bike' and the 'Warbow' http://carnage.bungie.org/rogerwilco/ Warbow Ferret Bike The Ferret's weighs in at 1.5tons. Both armed with a pair of 7.62mm machine guns (at least the Warbow)
SturmTiger you are almost right, its an MG3 (you know the modern 7,62 mm version of the MG42) with optic sight (we both have day sight and night-vision for it)
Miller wrote How so? As Jens stated the MG3 is a modernised version of the mg42 with night sight etc. and therefore has greater capability - not necessarily in terms of firing rate but in overall use. I believe barrel life is also greater in modern versions.
MG42 is also 7,92 mm which is not NATO standart ammo therefor it would be, from a logistic point of view, stupid to use when we use NATO standart ammo for all the other weapons. to the picture, I have found out, from other places on the internet, that the picture was made because they, those who took the picture, was tired of continue mechanical problems with their vehicle so they made this alternative recce vehicle (SPJESK mean they are recce).
