M167 usage by SK

[edit]

AFAIK the M167 is used by the SK armed forces in limited capacity for urban AA. It's a well known fact that many high-rise buildings in Korea have an AA site on the top floor, and most if not all of them have M167s. There are numerous official pictures from the Ministry of Defense, as well as a lot of first hand accounts. Not sure if SK still belongs in the "Former Operators" section -71.204.108.229 (talk) 19:26, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Effective range

[edit]

The wikipedia article should include the effective range, even if only as an estimate / guesstimate. Many viewers don't know that. For example, I don't. I came to wikipedia because I wanted to find out. (This should go to all anti-air articles, a table on the effective range, even if only a guess. Right now I don't know if the range is 5 meters or 5000 meters or anything in between...). 2A02:8388:1604:F600:6D3E:54F:D1:F386 (talk) 19:45, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just added range figures from relevant army field manual. I suspect there's more depth to be had here from different ammunition types and possibly variations on the gun (PIVADS had a longer range than VADS, but I'm not sure about the exact numbers).
