We were expected to take the M240 that the loader could fire from his position if we had to abandon the tank. So between the M240, pistols and the M16 I guess the Army thought we would be okay.
I saw that there was an "Egress kit" for the M240D, but I can't find any pictures of it. What does it entail?
