We used jeep mounted 106 RR rifles [M-40 A 1] that had a .50 cal spotting rifle as a range finder mounted on it back in the day. It was mounted on top of the cannon and had a phosphorous tip as a spotting round , hit the target with the spotting round and pull the cannon lanyard, KABOOM! http://www.warboats.org/mst2Bremmer/Stoner_ord_notes/stonerhtml/RECOILLESS_RIFLE.htm
