Description: A Marine 106mm recoilless rifle team set the weapon on its tripod in one of the Hue University classrooms, to take out an enemy machine gun. According to one of the gunners, "we fired it with a lanyard where we knocked out our objective we kind of knocked out the building that the 106 was in too, but it didn't hurt the gun, once we dug it out."
