You have no idea how much I love those things!  I got pretty good at cranking those wheels and putting it on target.  "Spotter!!!"...    "MAIN GUN!!!"   :thumbup::banana:

When I was a Tracked Vehicle mechanic in my last year as a Marine Reserve on active duty in 1964 I was assigned TDY to the Ontos batillion at Pendleton for a major mod, We pulled the GMC 270 C.I engine and replaced it with a Chrysler 318 C.I. V/8 and Allison lockup automatic transmission. I got to  help remount the 6 recoilless rifles and sight them at The range. The Ontos had a pair of 3 106 rifles on each side and there were two .50 BMG 10 round semi-automatic spotting rifles with the same trajectory as their paired 106's. The .50BMG rounds were White Phosphorous  and impacted and released white smokeThat was a awesome experiance.  The back blast from the 106 was unbelievable. The 6 rifles could be dismounted and fired singly from tripods.
