Description
Add a strong piece of Vietnam War helicopter armament history to your collection with this Technical Manual TM 9-1010-207-ESC. This manual covers the 40mm M5 Armament Subsystem and is dated May 1973.
The M5 Armament Subsystem was used on UH-1 Huey helicopters. Army reference lists identify TM 9-1010-207-ESC as the Equipment Serviceability Criteria manual for the 40mm Grenade Launcher M5 subsystem, used on the UH-1B helicopter, with NSN 1010-00-738-5811.
Historical Significance
The M5 system was part of the early armed Huey story. It used the 40mm M75 grenade launcher in a chin-mounted helicopter system. The M75 was electric motor driven, air-cooled, and fired about 215–230 rounds per minute.
This manual fits well with Vietnam War aviation, UH-1 Huey gunship, and 40mm grenade launcher collections.
