  1. This video has been around a while but it shows the autoloader in action. The 21 rounds of ammunition are stored vertically in a conveyor on the left side of the turret and meet the autoloading mechanism at the rear of the turret behind the 105mm M35 gun.
  2. Recent Activities in Electro-Thermal Chemical Launcher Technologies at BAE Systems recent being 2006
  3. -CMI's 3000 series turret + Raytheon sight won a downselect for a ARDEC research & development project -a C-17 can carry 3 M8's at level 3 armor -ATK's 30x173mm airburst round uses the same fuse as the 25mm grenades in the XM25 -all four of ATK's 40x180mm rounds will be ready for production by the second quarter 2017 -M829A4 is in production -the US Army will "probably" make its decision on which 120mm AMP round it wants around the first of the year -Iron Fist Light is "about a quarter the weight" of other APS systems
  4. I am interested if the thicker applique armor on the next gen Brad is going to be used on production AMPV's.
  5. The NBC/WSJ poll(s) with Hillary in double digit leads. https://www.scribd.com/document/327216789/Public-161027-NBCWSJ-October-N900-Poll-10-11-RELEASE https://beta.fec.gov/data/disbursements/?two_year_transaction_period=2016&committee_id=C00495861&recipient_name=Hart+Research&min_date=01%2F01%2F2015&max_date=12%2F31%2F2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priorities_USA_Action
  6. Ok someone has a death wish. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-yemen-security-missiles-idUSKCN12C294?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=Social
  7. I wonder if the NYT has commented on the prevalent heavy oversampling of Democrats in polls.
  8. That is pretty interesting actually, and it can be more heavily armored than the MCT-30.
  9. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-yemen-security-usa-ship-idUSKCN12A082 A feather in the cap for AN/SLQ-32? And it turns out a pair of SM-2 and an ESSM were used. https://news.usni.org/2016/10/11/uss-mason-fired-3-missiles-to-defend-from-yemen-cruise-missiles-attack
  10. I wonder if Paul Ryan is regretting his white knight virtue signaling.
  11. Did CNN poll 50% more democrats than republicans again?
  12. https://twitter.com/mike_pence/status/785310165327151104
  13. Exclusive poll: GOP voters want the party to stand by Trump http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/politico-morning-consult-poll-229394
  14. Its the last month/home stretch and all pretenses of white gloves treatment are gone.
  15. I don't give a shit because it has no relevance beyond an attempt at an October surprise. And possibly to keep the Podesta emails out of the news cycle.
  16. Ah sorry I meant the gun itself. For example if you had a Leclerc style autoloader paired up with a 125mm gun, the two piece ammunition could be manufactured as a single long round.
  17. Wouldn't the 125mm guns be able to? Their 2 piece ammo seems like more of a loading convenience than a functional necessity.
  18. Here is some hyperbole. I am 33. Hillary has embodied everything I consider cancerous in politics my entire adult life. Back in 08 Obama got my vote in my states primary for the same reason. Calling her a criminal isn't propaganda when the head of the FBI explains she has done things that I would go to jail for. Of course the Bush's disapprove of Trump after he took Jeb's candidacy off the $100 million silver platter he was being handed. Bill will disapprove because his wife is running. And Obama will disapprove because a Trump election means the public rejects his of so important legacy.
