The "Z Arm" on CDN Jeeps

[rob love]

Not sure where my copy of the installation CFTO went, but I am almost certain it mentioned installation in M38A1s which were in use by militia recce only. I only got to Cypress in 89 and by then we had gone over to the Iltis and in fact withdrew them from service and had converted over to the Pajero fleet of 1/4 tons. Someone here might prove me wrong and show a photo of a Cdn UN Jeep with the side mount, but I don't recall ever seeing one. There is a photo on the net of one from the Ont R museum, but I suspect that jeep is a bit of a fantasy piece.

My own thoughts on it are that if you regularly need a machine gun on a jeep, then you need to replace your jeep with a piece of armour. I believe history has shown me to be correct on this matter.
