Re: M27 105mm Recoilless Rifle in obat12
Per the TC-31 referred to above, the 75-mm RR section was to assume a predominantly HE role, since its AT performance was apparently so lacking.
The book you refer to threw me for a loop also, since I simply couldn't get the numbers to work that way. However, that doesn't mean that the AT Platoon was not reorganized as the book describes - perhaps on a unit by unit MTOE basis.
As far as I know, the section leader / ammunition truck disappeared with the introduction of the ROAD divisions in the early 1960's and has never been brought back.
On the question of sources for the H-Series, Carlisle will photocopy stuff at a price. I found it was getting too expensive on account of extra flat fee surcharges levied on foreign enquiries, as well as the vast number of changes that were made to this series.
Instead of that, my choice is hours and hours combing internet sites and on-line used-book sellers' (incl. e-bay) catalogues over and over again. After all, this is a hobby for me - not a job!
