Big Bang Ricochet 005: The M1511 Interim FAV

ADD TO WISHLIST >

USMC doctrine requires that certain units, such as FAST (Fleet Antiterror SEcurity Teams) and Force Recon, to participate in FMF (Fast Maneuver Force) tactics, utilizing small, agile, well-armed vehicles. Since they have long become accustomed to getting the short end of the DoD budgetary stick, the USMC made due with hand-me-down dune buggies from the Navy, former SEAL FAVs, as well as a small fleet of modified M151 Mutt Jeeps that should have been cycled out of service in the early 1980's. By 1998, most of the Mutts were on their last legs, and the decision was made to replace everything.

The M1511 Interim Fast Attack Vehicle is the designated replacement, based on the Wolf light military trucks so common throughout Europe. The M1511 is a 4WD commercial vehicle, purposely modified at the factory level to meet military standards. The truck is fast, agile, armored, and with the latest units entering service, heavily armed with multiple machine guns and rockets, all with a formidable cross country capability that seems able to take it anywhere.

Included with this issue of Big Bang Ricochet is an Entry for the Mk. 19 Mod. 0 Automatic Grenade Launcher, a staple weapon of the USMC, USN navy SEALs and the US Army Military Police Combat Support Heavy Squads.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
