The above is the latest varient using the the Air Burst Munition, now 25mm. The latest varient should be pursued and not abandoned as Scales has suggested it may. There are certainly other areas such as armour etc. that could be improved. The possible cancellation of this sytem is symtomatic of the larger problem of the Pentagon and Congress favoring huge ticket items to increase their budget and provide jobs in districts at the expense of those on the ground.
The rounds are HALF A POUND EACH. The weapon itself is 25 POUNDS! Geez, they're going backwards.
Everything but the airburst mode can be duplicated by the FN2000, and FN is looking at that as an option.
