WEAPONS OF THE KANGAROOS
Offensive and Defensive SOPs
The Priest and Ram Kangaroo were both primarily 'battle-taxis', the roles of which were to advance to the objective under cover of accompanying tank and artillery fire. It was, however, deemed necessary to equip each vehicle with weapons which could used to defend against enemy infantry as well as prep the objective and provide covering fire while the infantry were debussing.

The weapons which were chosen for this duty were the ubiquitous .30 and .50 calibre Browning machine guns...

More coming shortly, including an in-depth assessment of both MGs!
