I know when the BMP first came out the US Army was obsessed with the firing port idea to the point they made a special barrel with a screw adapter for the M16 to be able to use the firing ports in the Bradley.
I also know that eventually common sense actually prevailed and the whole idea was scrapped, as even the US Army realized it was a waste of ammunition.

And if the US Army is actually willing to admit ANYTHING is a waste of ammunition I'd say that pretty much says it all.
