  1. XM360 and the XM291 with the 120mm L/56 gun tube in the background

  2. @Wiedzmin I'll go out on a limb here and say it's the EX35 that was used in the CCVL turret. Bore evacuator is missing, but you can see where it was originally fitted on the barrel.

  3. Sŏn'gun-915 tanks. The grenade launchers were replaced by a KPVT again. MANPADS and ATGM launchers are missing as well.

  4. Also, in the picture with the M256 there are two unicorns hiding at the very top behind the GBU-28 Paveway (which, as we know, was partially built out of decommissioned 203mm howitzer barrels from the now-retired M110A2 - hence its presence in the room) and the orange scissor lift: - Either the 58-caliber XM282 or the 39-caliber XM283 (based on the M198's M199) that were trialed in 1985 for the Howitzer Improvement Program (HIP); there were three guns proposed as part of the Advanced Armament System (AAS): the XM282, the XM283 (both 282 and 283 were fitted onto five M109A3E3 testbeds) and the XM284 (fitted onto four M109A3E2 testbeds). They eventually selected the XM284 for what ultimately became the M109A5. The howitzer gun on this picture looks like the XM283, but with the barrel length, it's more like a L58 XM282 (which had a chamber volume of 27.8L/1,700 cubic inches and could lob M549A1 HERA projectiles up to 45km with the XM224 propellant charge). Also note that they also cut a XM282's barrel down to 52 calibers to test liquid propellants; that L52 could also be the one seen here. - Right next to it is the L56 XM297 (chamber volume of 1,400 cubic inches) that was installed on the Crusader (which also, at one point, dabbled with liquid props before switching back to solid MACS propellant charges). Easily recognizable with its pepperpot muzzle brake.

  5. @Ramlaen The one next to the M256 is definitely a XM360. Note that wire/cable running alongside and over the breech and the three pistons (for, IIRC, a two-stage recoil) on top. However, the two guns in the group pictures are most likely M35s for the M10. There are bore evacuators (the M35 should also have an internal evacuator fan to resolve that toxic fumes issue the M10 suffered from during trials) and there are barrel shroud clamp assemblies (I assume they're clamps) right behind the muzzles. The XM360 features a pepperpot muzzle brake (even on the AbramsX, which should've been using a XM360E1 since most of the technical legwork for its installation should've already been done, but they still went with the original XM360), but the Booker's M35 doesn't.

  6. Along with the XM291 there's 3 photos, the first one is of the gun itself, the 2nd one is the XM8 with the XM291? and the 3rd photo is of the ATAC System Demonstrator aka Thumper, perhaps indicating that the gun tube which the Thumper is armed on the photo is the 120mm L/56 gun tube.
