Can some one answer this Question - Is this a Flak-vierling 38 on a Modern day U.S. Humvee. Now in Somalia or The Ivory Coast ? It looks like the Humvee is under New Management.

WoW ! Very Similar ! Oh, COOL, Chicks with Big Guns !! SEXY !!! :ro: ( This is merely meant as an Innocent Compliment )

James thanx for posting & the Identification.

I wonder how They got a hold of a Chinese Flak Gun & out it in an American Humvee ??

I'd say it more likely a Soviet ZPU-4 which has been mounted. There's a shit load of former Soviet Union stuff floating around Africa - the Communists flooded the continent with cheap weaponry.

The Humvee was probably a remnant from the Somali Civil War, captured or found abandoned.

Yes, thats what I think. I forgot to write the soviet designation, and even wrote the wrong Chinese designation. The Chinese quad is a Type 56 while the dual is a Type 58.
And the wear and tear on the Humvee makes it look like a remnant.
