A number of the AP-2H aircraft were also fitted with*
the XM149, of which there is debate over whether this*
was the designation for each individual automatic*
grenade launcher, or for the entire system.  Regardless,*
these aircraft were fitted with 8 40mm automatic grenade*
launchers related to the M75/M129 pattern, firing at various*
angles downward through modified bomb-bay doors.*
The system was reported to have been able to saturate an*
area equal to an American football field from a height of*
3,000 feet during a 3 second firing drill.  The system*
is represented as a cluster munition for this reason.*
