LOL, Paulo. It's part of my job. At work, I do extensive research on many things. My motto is "if it's out there, it'll soon be in here." Trade secret...lol

Very nice find Ken! You are good at this.

I wonder if it could fire all 6 guns simultaneously? That would be quite a volley from such a little AFV. Did this "thing" fight in Korea too? The design doesn't look that modern that is.
