Good morning.
What were the engineers vehicles used to poke holes in the walls and inject the CS based on, M-48s or M-60s?
I've not read anything that proves that the Davidians used their Barrett.

As someone else here said, they were combat engineer or tank recovery variants of the M60 that had been adapted. There are no M48-based vehicles in service any more that I am aware of, except for a few scattered Guard units (not in Texas).
IIRC, there was no recovered .50 BMG brass inside the compound from the defenders' positions, and there were no reports of .50 BMG strikes. However, there was plenty of .50BMG fire coming from the FBI/ATF side...

(Overwhelmingly superior firepower and the willingness to use it is the only proven peace solution.)
