Ian whats that cannon 20mm? or 30mm? & is automatic?.. I spent 7 years with Warrior excellent bit kit I thought!! I lived out of a Warrior for six months in Bosnia in 1995 whizzing around the country causing chaos!! Cheers Terry.

its a 30mm bushmaster chain gun

same gun as the M2a2 M3a3 bradly but 30mm not 25mm like the bradly
strangely very slow rate of fire
about 1 round a sec
the portuges pandour 2 has a 30mm mauser strait auto that dose about 3 a sec

Cool, gun stablisers!!!! or is it like the Warrior you cant shoot on the move!!

[ian]

yep its stabelized BUT??? i wont say any more about that

[Tango]

Opsec no problems...Cheers Terry.

[ian]

EERRMM does the fact it DOESENT work come under opsec??

[ian]

when i did the test fire (static ) creap ment 1 mabe 2 rounds on target
the rest went up or down take your pic

on battle run stabelized ( wheres the target) all over the f,in place
the frase barn door comes into mind
took us months to sort out the problems
the gun was to close to true balance
so the stabelizer gyros had nothing to fight against
we got it right just when they canceld
it was an israily remote weapon system
and they would not except that any thing was wrong
it took myself and the director a long time to get them to go with our ideas
but once they understood that the stabelizer has to be unstable to work (like chieftain or chally) then every thing worked out

Were these battle damaged or just worn out when you got them?

Thanks

one was battle damaged
the other 8 were just due re build
the battle damage was slight ,a cracked weld and a 13mm penetration on the drive train tunnel underneath
very easy to deal with we cut out and replaced the damaged areas
most battle damaged vehicles are usualy repaired in quatar or sent back to the states or destroyed completely
