DESCRIPTION
The versatility, ruggedness, dependability and utility of the Jeep endeared itself not only to a generation of GIs during World War II, but after that to Korea. Its common sense design, simplicity and wide availability of parts, as well as its adaptability to a variety of roles also brought continuing contracts well into the Vietnam era, not only for variants like the Mighty Mite and M170 but also for derivatives built on the standard CJ platform. With expertise stretching back nearly a quarter century, Kaiser-Jeep could built a CJ variant for almost any purpose. Proven in combat everywhere from the steppes of Russia through the quagmires of spring in France to the arid deserts of North Africa, Jeeps were the prime mover of every military in the world. In 1965 Israel was faced with a growing threat and ordered a series of specially-equipped CJ-5 Jeeps from Kaiser-Jeep. Powered by Jeep's legendary "Go-Devil" four, some were equipped as radio communications vehicles to coordinate the Israelis fast-moving tactics. Others were more offensive, like this tank-killing CJ-5 equipped with an M70 106mm recoilless rifle. Restored to the desert combat dull dun color employed in the Middle East to mask its presence, it is presented as it might have been employed in the Six Days War in 1967 with Israeli Army type identification, it has a deactivated M70 106mm recoilless rifle with deactivated fixed 50mm targeting gun mounted above it. The windshield is split in the middle to support the rifle's long barrel during transport. The windshields fold down during weapon deployment to give it a full range in traverse and elevation. The restoration has been done to high standards and the Jeep is fully equipped with jerry can, shovel, new tires and lateral rear seats for the gun crew. Blackout lights on the fenders supplement the regular headlights. Among military vehicles this is a very unusual example of a specific, limited production variant restored to high standards of accuracy, appearance and functionality and a rare export example of the Jeep's continuing versatility and adaptability to the demands of modern, high mobility warfare. It is unusually deadly and menacing.

As long as you're seated, they won't be hot.

this is hilarious, i was about to post "they won't get hot if you sit on them" :lol:

Then I would not want to use this thing when the gun goes off...

It's a recoil-less rifle.

Interesting things is I think the listing is wrong. It looks like a M40. I believe it's US made as well. In the 60's and 70's they were mounted on just about everything you can think of. Jeeps, Mules, M113, etc... Israel at the time had a lot of old US hardware. I think the recoiless was phased out after the implementation of stuff like the 84mm SRAAW Carl Gustov. The M40 will take out a lightly armored APC or tank or ruin someone's day with HEAT rounds.

Recoil-less, yes... Quiet? I doubt it...

Recoil-less vents out the back so most of your muzzle blast will be vented that way. There is no brake on the muzzle so sound will also be focused out in front of the gun and not to the sides as much. As for being quiet, it's relative. If there was a muzzle brake on there and it wasn't recoil-less then like on a field artillery piece you'd hear and feel the blast a lot more.

have you ever shot an rpg :yikes: ? - that's recoil-less but the darn thing will make you deaf for 1/2 an hour (there's no flame disperser on it either).

That's because of the R in RPG.

Like I said... I would not want to be sitting in the drivers seat when the thing gets fired, and I would not like to let the sun cook the seat and then seat on it... Of course, I guess when you got a battallion of enemy tanks coming at you, these are the least of your problems!

there's a rocket that propels the grenade you're right, but it is thrown out by an explosive charge initially, that's the one that busts your ears.

That would be the primary stage of the rocket. The second stage is the substainer motor. Most of it still gets crapped out the back. Yeah, its going to be like launching a rocket next to your head but there are worse things like an APC unloading on your placement.
-
you'd be fine UNLESS stand behind it! probably no deafness after this thing goes off.

Yeah, that would ruin anyone's day. :uhoh:

sorry man but that's incorrect, it's an explosive charge and is very loud.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPG-7
It is launched by a gunpowder booster charge, giving it an initial speed of 115 meters per second, and creating a cloud of light grey-blue smoke. The rocket motor ignites after 10 meters and sustains flight out to 500 meters at a maximum velocity of 295 meters per second.

Yes, they are part of the two-stage system. The primary is an explosive charge and the secondary is the substain motor but they are all apart of the booster.
