Fallout Re: US Stryker Brigade

Some problems still exist with the STRYKER MGS and though in the field as late as this past fall it still was under modifications to fix numerous issues to include firing stablization while on the move at the Aberdeen proving grounds in MD.
To the ammo issue I hope this will help; Note para 5:

Some good general info; Note para 2:

Due to the reliability issues a good article on them and the "argument" against the MGS based on existing platforms. There is enough other info out there but, I was somewhat surprised how willing we are to use such high tech ammo for the alternative (Yeah that's a tease.) given to the MGS.
