  1. Quite an uptick in Iranian defense reporting with the escalation of U.S. military involvement in Syria and Iraq.

    2. The gun will have camouflaged cover, you don't color it camouflaged as you might be using it in different environments on different jeeps with different camouflages, so you change the cover (I am talking about the 3-barrl gun)
