Quote:That bofors gun rocks. The 40mm round going through 140mm of armour is sweet, but the best part is the cannister rounds especially against helos. I would love to see this vehicle in MBT.
It is in MBT 3 or so versions in Swedish OOB with with 40mm. also other nations with Bushmaster.
I logged onto Bofors sight out of intrest as game shows pentration is rated at 200mm & was alarmed to see there ammo usage predictions for Bushmaster 3 vs this. Worst diffrence is vs helos as tricky blighters to hit I would think. At 1Km it takes the Bush3 about 65-70 rounds to bring one down, 3Km 460+ rounds. Divide by 17 near enough for what the 40 uses to bring it down. Forget the ammo expenditure even if the gun fired at half the ROF the diffrence in take down speed eliminating the threat is huge in combat terms. It probably does get through ammo quick because its engaging more targetsBig Grin
Bofors own Vickers I think & the Challeger 2 can reliably destroy 8 targets in 40 seconds (I am a Brit)

You guys as far as I know are the only people to use the ADATS system any ideas on as it looks pretty good to me on paper. Multi role missile system again its clever ammo so can take on both ground & air.
