As an aside, perhaps moderately on topic, I believe there was a Brit
recoilless rifle called a Wombat. Originally mounted on two wheels and
dragged around, it was later mounted on a Land Rover, I think.

I was designed mid-WWII, right? I think it lasted in service til late
40's.

I'll see if I can find the mag I was reading that mentioned it.

Might be worth thinking about for a new somewhat lower tech weaponed
vehicle. Did the US ever mount RR's forward pointing on jeeps? I think I
remember seeing them in action down at Ft. Riley, KS.
