Pretty good going
The prime mover for that beast is not shown on the piccie (the gunner looks happy... as he did not have to carry it?)Voldemort wrote: and one NSV which is known as ITKK 96

I understand; that the high setting is for anything up in the sky?
Otherwise it would nicely replicate out Panther set up (the 50 cal not being able to fire sideways... not that the improvised US Stryker gun could do that either; but there we are speaking of recoil in a slightly differentclass)

- as they are planning to do, at squad level in front line units
- the shortlisted companies have until next summer to reverse-engineer their rifle designs around the new projectile (whether it comes caseless, otherwise lighter weight, including better efficiency of "packaging")
Why 6.8mm and not 6.5mm? The 6.5mm is clearly ballistically superior.ArmChairCivvy wrote:The responses also justified the choice of a 6.8mm projectile saying: “The 6.8mm caliber projectile cannot change. A 6.8mm caliber is large enough to achieve Government’s required outcomes whereas a 6.5mm caliber cannot.”
