The Army didn't like the thing because the back blast from the rockets was so powerful it smashed the windows of the trucks at the testing site. In paraphrase: The Army didn't like it because it was to powerful. But obviously the Marines loved that.
These things look amazing. I would love to have one if I could fire one that would be one thing I can mark off my bucket list. Thank you for your comment. Have a great day.
Doesn't look like it has a windshield! The Army unit I was with in Desert Storm brought two M40s (105mm recoilless rifles) along. We had to requisition two M141 jeeps from an Army National Guard unit to carry them as the HMMWV's we had didn't have suitable mounting points. Windshield had to be lowered then the weapon was used, and the weapon was only supposed to be pointed to the rear in an emergency as the windshields were expected to shatter from the backblast, even laying down.
