Thinking of planning an ambush with a tripod mounted LMG (hopefully HV) in the bed of a pickup truck for suppressive fire and overwatch. I want to leave the weapon in the bed so that we can peel out after it's over, or early if things go bad. Would the operator of the weapon use Gunnery or Heavy Weapons to fire the weapon? Summation: The weapon is mounted on a tripod sitting in the bed of a truck. In this situation the truck is not moving during the firing of the weapon. How is it fired? Reference:
I'm leaning towards Heavy Weapons, as I feel that the spirit of the vehicle mounted distinction is intended for weapons fired from a moving vehicle. On a side note, I would call firing the same weapon from the bed of the truck while it is moving Gunnery, and would apply the modifier for an unmounted weapon. Opinions? |
