I don't remember if firing all six guns could be done. Basically it was a anti-tank vehicle. There were two banks of 3 guns. Each bank had a 50 cal spotting rifle. The rifle was used to hit the target, and if it did, it was fired one more time with a 106 right behind.
The loader generally road on the outside of the ontos. 106s rounds were kept in the vehicle and under the rear hatch, there was a magazine. That was only accessable from the out side. The breech of each gun was only accessable from the out side.
The ontos also had a M 60 mounted on the center of the carrage of the 106s.
