The M231 Firing Port Weapon is a rather obscure footnote in US Small Arms history. Thanks to Marty Bordson, owner of Badger Ordnance, I recently got the chance to fire one.
Designed to be shot from the firing ports of the M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle (the M2 was the Infantry variant), the M231 was based on the M16A1. As you can see, it featured a short, threaded handguard which was screwed into place in the firing port. Initially, the M231 featured a wire stock, reminiscent of the M3 “Grease Gun” but it was later removed as it was prone to rattle off and become a nuisance in the vehicle. Although, the real reason was probably to dissuade the rifle’s use in place of the standard M16 by dismounted Infantry.

Opet kalibar... Koliko vidim spominju se zrna koja nisu dozvoljena za vojnu upotrebu. Hollow point, fragmentirajuca lovacka zrna bez kosuljuce itd. Kao i obicno, niti ista novo niti korisno. U pet banke da lovacka 12ka gore rane pravi
Jesam ja dobro procitao da je civilna klinika? Pa je i vjerovatnica veca da se gore opisana municija cesce koristi BAS zato jer vece / teze rane pravi a cjena - prava sitnica.
Dvojica hirurga na fotkama su bili vojni rezervisti i opisuju ono sto su videli na licu mesta,jedan od njih opisuje prvi slucaj ranjavanja 5.56 mm municijom kad je sluzbovao na Filipinima.
