We really could have used this about two years ago in Sadr City when we lost eight good men to the "residents" of Sadr City.

Interesting.
I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that cannon!

The 105 mm cannon can also take out snipers…
Under statement of the year!

All the best fancy expensive equipment in the world is useless if we handcuff our troops with Vietnam or worse types of Rules of Engagement....like not being able to destroy a mosque when receiving fire from it, allowing our enemies sanctuary in Syria and Iran, allowing rat nests like Ramadi to continue to plant IEDs.

Selectable, automatic loading - AND canister rounds. It's like God's Remington 1100.
To: Cannoneer No. 4
The cannon also fires canister rounds, which are used when confronting large groups of combatants. The canister round sends out a spray of titanium balls, similar to the pellets from a shotgun, which can impact several targets at once. A whiff of grape to send the Jihadis off to their promised white raisins; how appropriate!

I used to hate to be on the empty case ejecting end. They're hot and they hurt!
Same gun was on the old M60A1.

They got a version with quad .50's? Or a chain gun?

Wonder what happened to all the 105mm BEEHIVE flechette sprayers? I've seen pictures of VC nailed to plywood hooch walls with flechettes.

This Mobile Gun System (MGS) is the most dangerous bit of fraud, waste and abuse to come along in years. The machine is not capable of performing the mission, it is too heavy to meet mission and can not hit the ground ready to fight. We have been bilked of millions to support Shinsuckie's ego and will end up killing a bunch of our young soldiers.

No.
There are LAV's and LAV III's with chain guns. The US Army doesn't have them.

Many of us were saying the same thing about the Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle three years ago. We were wrong three years ago.

It does look like an abortion with that high profile. Fire that 105MM with the gun traversed on anything but level ground and watch the rollovers begin. I've heard that the round is lower powered than the typical 105 tank gun, so that confirms that there is a problem here.
