[TexasPatriot]

Does anyone know what particular 30 mm system they play on using for the stryker?

Hilarious and another stunning example of Rumsfeld's Transformation Folly. It only proves what everyone said about the damn things from day one.

they're currently running .50BMG... if they go to 30mm, why not just go to Vulcans on a few?

30MM solves the loss of the A-10 strafe support problem.

Shinseki was the brilliant one that thought Strykers were good in the first place. Are they horrible? no. Did they basically not meet anything actually planned as a capability for the platform other than carrying a squad? yep.

No such thing as over kill............... I hear 30, do I hear 35?

Hated because I will not be surprised at all if this becomes a storyline in the A-10 conversation. Because it's totally the same thing. :wall:

You guys should lobby the Army to put the 30MM on the TACP Stryker, and claim your the A-10 replacement.:-"

Should put a mini-CIWS system on a stryker and program it to shoot anything not American and holding a weapon. Have it playing a recording of the local language says " hold no weapon, have no harm".

I'm sure all the coalition members out there in the badlands will find that a bit unsettling...

So we set it to red white and blue IFF. Good to go.

That's a stupid and ignorant statement.

Essentially.... Robocop?

The Army would just find a way to screw it up.
