That surely is the monster I remember too. I was there on the end of the runway the first time they fired it. Scared the crap out of everyone there and I too think it lifted the front of the jeep up. Later it seemed to me they had mounted a M-79 launcher they had barrowed from the Navy and looked like an old movie camera. Just a big box with belt feed rounds and a crank handle on the side. Great aiming devices included the two yellow handled screw drivers. Funny how we can look back and see some of these things, and have trouble with others. I know I thought I was going to wet my pants that day watching those crazy bastards.
