Oerlikon mounted on Jeep

Post by novectaner » Wed Apr 18, 2018 4:47 am

Can anyone tell me who this is or whose Jeep has this arrangement? Also if you have contact info I would really like to ask them some question about the setup.
Thanks

At least it’s a repro tub.

I'm thinking it's a photoshop (bogus) depiction.

Yes it is Steve Smith. I spoke to him yesterday about the pic. No Oerlikon to his knowledge was ever mounted to a jeep. He just wanted something to carry around his Oerlikon gas gun.
