Slick got the Whatziss, and quickly, too. Well done, sirrah! Those of you saying recoil mounts were sniffing in the right direction, led by Rich.
Had it gone a day further, the perspective would have changed, being some cropped portion of this shot of the mount:
And because I know you really want to see it - here you go. M8 pyro pistol in the Mount, M1. The M8 is still in service. I carried one as an O/C at Fort Irwin, where we had some really fun stuff to shoot from them - artillery simulators! In addition to flares.
Good times.
As for availability, check the usual auction sites. These have been popping up, and I suspect a bunch just got sold surplus, or one of the bigs found a box in the corner. All the ones I've seen lately are in essentially unissued shape.
