Looks like a 57mm recoiless rifle in the jeep...that'll definitely
slow it down.

Going by the rest of the photos in the set 106mm recoilless rifle

they also shot at the plane with a 20mm autocannon and a old gatling gun
a M56 90MM Scorpionm, 81MM mortar M-14 rifle, M-60 machine gun
and while the plane was burning drove an honest John into place and
fired over it down range , also a 90MM skysweeper redstone missle,
a little John missile, M50 Ontos 280mm atomic cannon
SSM-A-23 Dart wire-guided anti-tank missile.

been to fire power displays like that several times, hell of a show each
time.. Ft. Benning, Ft. Sill, Ft. Knox , Ft. Riley
