  1. Barrel, breech, recoil mechanism. They are quite a bit different. XM35 breech block M68 breech block
  2. That's the claim by controlled leakers. Seems to be about the same size as General Atomics railgun.
  3. I would assume it’s viable, that document is from before SAIC/STK/CMI threw their hat in the ring. Speaking of which I think their chances will be heavily influenced by the ACV selection.
  4. I believe so, I’m not familiar with the particulars of how they would be supplied to vendors.
  5. The fact that the Army keeps hinting at MPF having a 105mm gun makes me think that they want to use the XM35 in whichever vehicle is chosen.
  6. Not a single mention of how the majority of stoppages were caused by people holding the slide release causing it to not hold open after the last round.
  7. The Army is going over it’s options for the A5 Bradley. This would be the Commanders Sight & Weapon System mentioned in the current scope.
  8. Airborne Calvary Scout Soldiers here are conducting airdrop certification testing on the Light Armor Vehicle (LAV-25A2).
  9. “In the last decade, many improvements have been made in small caliber ammunition resulting in the improved general propose round, the M80A1 7.62mm Enhance Performance Round (EPR). The XM1158 retains the improvements fielded in the M80A1 7.62mm EPR with the addition of enhanced hard-target effects resulting from its tungsten carbide penetrator,” McFarlane said. So a tungsten EPR round? Kind of vague.
  10. Not the deferred tests part, those are happening in phase 2 which is supposed to be sometime this month.
  11. SMSgt Mac had a writeup on a similar study.
  12. Concurrent Technologies Corporation is collaborating with TARDEC to improve the manufacturing of the U.S. Army’s friction stir-welded HFBC prototype hulls for the Next Generation Combat Vehicle.
