As if that's not cool enough, it will have an auto-loader cspable of a rate of fire in excess of 20 rounds per minute!!

FFDP-Guy In reply to ODSThero [2018-08-14 06:51:12 +0000 UTC]

Neat, I see they went all out on development.

ODSThero In reply to FFDP-Guy [2018-08-14 21:10:49 +0000 UTC]

Can you blame them? The design's nearly 40 years old, and pretty much unchanged for that entire time.

It's fire control system dated back to the 1975.

FFDP-Guy In reply to ODSThero [2018-08-14 21:40:07 +0000 UTC]

I guess it will be replaced?

ODSThero In reply to FFDP-Guy [2018-08-14 21:41:45 +0000 UTC]

It was designed for the 105mm M68 gun the original M1 used.
