It kind of looks like someone is manning a DShK and it's placed behind the rocket pod at such an angle that they look like one super awesome weapon. I could be wrong though. But where the two connect, the field of view is off and how would you modify the firing system for the rockets with the original receiver of a DShK?

I dont think they are connected, it would be kinda hard to aim with that thing since they´re using tripods.
And look at the wires under the pod, I´m pretty sure they´re using the truck´s battery for firing them. So if you´re going to use the receiver, its simple: replace the trigger with a simple electric switch and that´s all. And dont forget to protect yourself from the rocket blast.

It looks like they're using a car jack to adjust the elevation.

Now THAT is a cool shot.

The truck's all covered in soot, I bet it's from firing the rockets.
If anyone was standing behind that thing when it went off, they'd probably get roasted.
edit: Here's an Indian air force demo of 57mm rockets. Not gigantic back blast, but I still wouldn't want to be standing near one of those when it went off.

Frankly, it is most obvious that these chaps require more DAKKA.

Bumping an old thread, but I thought this was interesting:

Rebels show off a captured FN F2000 with GL1 that previously belonged to the Libyan regime's elite 32nd Battalion.

GL1, not EGLM. The latter nomenclature refers to the Mark 13 Mod 0 launcher for the FN SCAR.
