LF Info About HMMWV w/M242 Bushmaster 25mm system

[minuteman1636]

I am looking for any information that I can get on the Humvee prototype that mounted the M242 Bushmaster 25mm gun system.

 

I have had little luck using things like Google. So, I hoping that someone knows someone who knows someone that has pictures or other data sources.

 

I have a few pictures out of the Hummer In Action and HMMWV in Action to name a few.

 

I'll take anything and everything I can find.

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Brent

Brent,

Spent a couple hours searching everything I could think of. The only posts are the Pics of the models and your posts on other forums. Looks nice by the way. Because it was an experimental vehicle and never went into production service with any country (that I know of), pictures will be few and far between. You might want to check with AM General or the company that designed the Bushmaster system to go in it. They may be the only ones that have good photos of the vehicle stored somewhere.

I read somewhere that it was reconverted back to a standard HMMWV when the M242 was deemed too much for the hardtop to handle. It probably served out its life as a standard M1025 or M1036 variant.
