Re: Merkava 4
"I was wondering if it was an autoloader or just a easy access type of storage.
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that the AMX-13 had an autoloader. Makes me wonder why the need for the MGS when you have a good light gun system."
IIRC it was not without drawbacks.At least in the original version the autoloader (two drums with six rounds each) had to be reloaded from the outside, I do not know if this issue was changed later.But it is a very succesful and widespread design neverthles.I would take the M8 Buford over it and the MGS (unless long road marches were essential)though.
