[Rhodes22-list] cannon mount

[Michael Meltzer]

I think you will have a problem getting a good lock with any radar guided warshoots on a fiberglass boat, the IR seekers will also
have a problem getting a good lock also and even the new noise homing BAT's will have a problem unless the outboard is running. now
a old fashion RPG/LAW's  might do the tick but that 20 yard arming distance can be a problem and its hard to hit anything with them.
A TOW would work great but they are a little pricy for use against a 22 foot sailboat. same goes for a javelin and the marines new
"penerator".

I would subject 50 cal BMG Bennet, the semi-auto with the 10 round clip, 10x low light, and some surplus AP ammunition. with a few
spare magines good for snipping, taking out a engine, fire for effect and short range AA.  the next best would be a simple M2 50 cal
BMG on a tropod mount on the bow, maybe a semi-auto granade luncher, I alway like the 40mil borfors pop-pop guns but I do not think
where we can mount them.


Care to play :-)
