The K21 packs a punch with a 40 MM licensed produced Bofors. This IFV is intended to take on North Korean IFVs.

"The autocannon exceeds the Bradley’s rate of fire (200 versus 300 rounds per minute),..."

How many rounds could someone fire through that cannon before it starts to deform from overheating? In other words, is there a practical limit on the number of rounds fired before it has to cool?

Solar manufacturing economy can make things better than a service economy can?

From Wiki:

“The K21 KNIFV’s chassis is constructed entirely out of fiberglass...”

Seriously?

That’s pretty sweet. This IFV seems like a winner. The fire and forget missile would be great against threats that lacked counter measures but the TOW would be better against tanks with advanced counter measures. Seems like it isn’t amphibious either. The 40 mm main gun seems like a big improvement from the Bradley’s 25 mm bushmaster cannon and the power to weight ratio improvment is impressive. The 50 cal is also a big bonus. Lots of things can be destroyed with a 50 cal that don’t require the use of the 40 mm rounds. The main gun stabilization certainly increases lethality as does the ability to carry more troops in the back and more ammo in the racks. This is an awesome vehicle.

Would be cooler with the M231 port firing weapons to mow down the commie hoards that get close enough.

The photo shows what a tight fit it is for the driver.
