(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q61/mrgerty/aliens-colonial-marines-08--scre-1.jpg)<br/><br/>if we DID take the UD-4 Cheyenne dropship (I really like my Colonial Marines Technical Manual .. hehe) perhaps the M557 could be one that was recovered from another mission and thus temporarily "off the line" in need of some mechanical and/or electronic repairs, which our resident egg head was able to get operational. However, since it was in need of repairs and not listed as available on the equipment roster, safety protocols mandated that all weapons systems be taken off line and safety mechanisms put into lace as well as all ammunition being removed and placed into the Mitchum's main magazine. That way, we could have transportation without having the overpowering firepower.  ;D
