In all the installation adds two tons to the Stryker's mass but it doesn't impede transporting around a nine man squad plus a driver and a gunner.

I don't see how that could be.

At some point don’t you up gun this thing so much that it becomes a primary target? If I were infantry in battle, I think I would consider moving away from this thing as soon as the fighting got hot. I have no experience in the Army, so the opinion of other Freepers is sought.

I saw a demo of this cannon on Outdoor Channel’s Gunny Time with the venerable R. Lee Ermey. It is some kind of bad ass weapon system!

I always thought a tank should have wheels instead of tracks...definitely moving in that direction.

Variable rate of fire between 100 and 200 rounds per minute with 420 rounds per vehicle. It’s not designed for a long engagement. They need to be able to reduce the fire rate to single shot and 50 rounds per minute.

A Toyota pickup with antitank missiles is still a formidable competitor.
