US Army's 50mm Cannon to sport a Depleted Uranium Round for INCREASED penetration over 40mm systems!

I spoke to Northrop Grumman about their new XM913 50 mm Bushmaster chain gun at #RUSILWC It seems likely that it will have a depleted uranium APFSDS anti-armour round with significantly greater penetration than the UK's CT40 cannon. (Images: @Krisosbornko) pic.twitter.com/2SvyIsJHTD

Ok.

If you're not sold on the idea of the USMC skipping the 30mm (or making it a TRUE interim round) and piggybacking on the US Army's upcoming 50mm then I don't know what else to tell you.

The Army is getting ready for a very deadly fight and they're buying gear to meet that need.

Why reinvent the wheel!

The Army boys are doing it and this is one time where we should follow their lead.
