Thanks to Dragon for the link!
I'm not a fan of big guns on IFVs. I really believe that 30mm is big enough to get the job done for the vast majority of the work found on the modern battlefield.
Additionally I don't like the creep toward becoming Main Battle Tanks when the focus should be on infantry transport and support.
Having said that....
I can't deny this is a sexy beast.
Watching that gun work is a sight to behold. Maybe the Brits and French are onto something with their compromise solution of using caseless 40mm rounds?
Sidenote. Do stowed rounds really matter when you have a caliber this large? We're so used to the idea of sending 3 to 5 rounds to getting the job done with 25 or 30mm cannons that with this beast one round will do. Is the stowed kill argument really valid when discussing this?
