Does much better against small arms than a hummer for sure!

No doubt in anybody's mind. But no one is proposing using a hummer as a replacement for an MBT-ala Stryker MGS. Also I'm not sure I would consider a rapid fire 30 mm. equipped BMP-3 a "small arm".

Didn't noticce the 30 mm at first. That is a nasty weapon, and I am sure would cause problems. Not sure of the solution though. There are many weapons that can take out anything but an M1, but we must keep one BIG thing in mind. There is not any intention of REPLACING the M1 with the Stryker.

The Stryker fills a capabilities gap between our light forces and our heavy forces...it is not meant to replace either one. We still need Airborne and Air Assault Infantry, and we still need Main Battle Tanks and Bradleys. right now the closest thing we have to an in between force are those units moving around combat zones in Hummers and Trucks!
