If a page does not have a reference in the supplement, then the information on that page is up to date and consistent with the Grizzly DLIR Weapons Siation. However, certain assumptions should be made where obvious differences might exist. Examples of such differences and assumptions to be noted are as follows: SUPPLEMENT (replaces) _TM10004A-10/1 AVGP Grizzly AAVP7AT 7.62mm MG 40mm MG 0 -6400 mils 0° - 360° I a TM10004A-10/1 page has a reference in the supplement, then information on that page is significantly changed for operation of the Grizzly DLIR Weapons Station. Each heading in the supplement manual is followed by a small note written in italics. ‘This note will reference the TM10004A-10/1 page number and/or section number. It wll also state whether the supplemented information is a reference, replacement or addition. A reference is a note indicating that the ‘supplemented information contains a change in text and/or illustrations. In this case the change is important, but complete revision of that particular subject heading was not required. Replacements are changes made such that a complete page, heading or section required updated information. An addition is any information added to the supplement manual which was not presented in the ‘TM10004A-10/1 manual in any form.‘TM 10004A-10/1 SUPPLEMENT TABLE OF CONTENTS ‘SUPPLEMENT PAGE CHAPTER 1. —_ INTRODUCTION... 141 Section f General 14 Section I.

GENERAL SCOPE This. manual is for use in operating the DLIR Weapons Station on the GRIZZLY AVGP. It includes operating instructions, safety warnings and cautions, and other important information supplement to the TM10004A-10/1 U.S. Marine Corps Technical Manual titled: OPERATOR'S MANUAL UPGUNNED WEAPONS STATION (UGWS) ASSAULT AMPHIBIAN VEHICLE PERSONNEL, MODEL 7A1, AAVPTA1 This supplement covers important information changed, or previously not found, in the TM10004A- 10/1 operator's manual due to weapon station differences. Section Il. DESCRIPTION AND DATA DESCRIPTION The DLIR weapons station (pages 1-1 through 1-3) is constructed of armor plate (per MIL-A-46100 & MIL-A-12560), welded together to form an outside ballistic structure. A basket is attached to the structure, which houses the gunner and the equipment necessary to operate the station. The primary weapon is a .50 caliber, M2HB machine gun; the secondary weapon is a 7.62mm, C6 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG). Also, two 12.MK 1 Multi-Barrel Smoke Grenade Dischargers are mounted on the weapons station. See the following pages of this supplement for important information, differences and changes to the TM10004A-10/1. Note that all weapons station differences not specifically addressed inthis supplement manual are to be implied throughout reading the TM10004A-10/1 (ie. 7.62mm machine gun replaces 40mm machine gun references, AVGP GRIZZLY replaces AAVP7A1 references, 6400 mils replaces 360" references, etc.)‘TM 10004A-10/1 SUPPLEMENT WEAPONS STATION 1 2 3 4 5 6 iq 8 Legend 50 caliber, M2HB machine gun Gunners Sight Sight cover Gunners hatch .50 caliber ammo box (2) Vision block (7) 42MK1 Grenade Discharger (2) 762mm ammo tray Azimuth indicator Gunners seat 42 channel slp ring Power relay assembly 50 caliber spent cartridge box 7.2mm spent cartridge box Turret and weapon controls, 7.62mm, C6 machine gunTABULATED DATA Weight and Size Weight (with armament) sun 1800 Ib (816.5 kg) Height (overall... son 76.7 in (194.5 cm) Diameter a 46.3 in (117.6 cm) Length (without armament) 69 in (175.3 cm) Operation... .Electric/Manual Performance Traverse... 6400 mils continuous Elevation +45 deg (800.0 mils) Depression + 8 deg (142.22 mils) Sighting Daylight ..(a) Unity (b) Optical, 7-Power Night Passive vision assembly, 7-Power Armament .. 50 cal, M2HB Machine Gun 83.8 Ib (38 kg) Rate of Fire (cyclic)... .~450-550 rpm Muzzle Velocity 2810 fps (856.5 m’s) Maximum Range —— 7328 yd (6700 m) ‘Secondary .. 7.62 mm, C6 Machine Gun Weight oereeene 24.3 Ib (11 kg) Rate of Fire (cyclic) .-580-1100 rpm.

OPERATION PROCEDURES WEAPON LOADING 7.62mm MACHINE GUN (Replaces 2-41 through 2-46) Sy WARNING Make sure all personnel are clear of the area before operating the weapons station. Failure to do so could cause injury or death to personnel by moving weapons station. NOTE Loading the 7.62mm machine gun is done by one person from inside the turret. 1. Traverse weapons station until the 7.62mm machine gun is over the vehicle top deck. & WARNING Turret power must be OFF when loading weapons. Personnel could be injured or killed if weapons are accidentally fired. 2. Check that the turret power switch (1) is in the OFF position. 3, Open a box of 7.62mm ammo (8), and remove top cover of box. Check that the last link is a double loop (2). Ifit is not a double loop, remove all ammunition from the box and replace back into box with the double looped end (2) at the top front of the box. Ammo must be placed into ‘ammo box so that the links wrap over the top of the rows. 4, Similarly, open a second box of 7.62mm ammo and remove the top cover. If not already done, place the ammo in the box such that the double looped end of link is at the top front of the box, 5.
