The Duster was a great weapon...replaced the M-19 Copperhead used in Korea...same deal but on the M-24 chassis. It was used a lot on Vietnam as artillery and anti personnel. In Korea they were called ''chinkchoppers''. Had a buddy assigned to one in VN and he said most of his shooting was high angle...like dropping hundreds of grenades on the enemy...not so much use an AAA. Like the M-41, they were really fast and maneuverable.
Im curious if they were able to fire high-explosive or fragmentation shells... that would be pretty deadly.
