Bushmaster 50mm Cannon going on the US Army's Next Generation Combat Vehicle...

Thanks to PitchBlackUniverse for the pic!

The poster says it has three times the range and eight times the lethality of the 25mm on the Bradley IFV.

It goes on to say that it shoots 200 shots per minute.

The Army is stepping up its armor game in a big way.

They will at least match threat weapons for the foreseeable future if this goes into production.

China will copy it...that's the reality.  Whether through theft, buying it from a traitor in our midst or a traitor from one of our allies they'll get the plans.  But they'll be playing catch up.

That's fine by me.  That's where they should be...struggling to keep pace.
