The M47 Dragon had no specific mount for vehicle transportation, other than a little-used modification on the M113-series APC. This resulted in the development of the M175 mount, although trying to find any decent images of the installed mount, other than line drawings, is challenging. This placed a ready-to-use Dragon to the right of the TC cupola, oriented in the direction as the .50 cal MG mount. With the usual travel mode of keeping the cargo hatch open and heads out for the Squad members, using this weapon on the fly would have presented more danger than most anything it would have been facing.
