  1.  @rikkosvinsmoke  Have you seen how the troops have to exit a BMP-3? They have to open two paper thin roof hatches, and then swing open two oven door sized hatches in the rear, OVER the hot engine. Imagine that in full kit. There's no wonder why the Russians just ride on top. The interior is so cramped that it's basically unusable.

  2. The 25 chews up everything but MBTs. The sabot round can penetrate a BMP of any type out to 2000 meters, and HE will demolish trucks, bunkers, and troops. We use the HE on any troops past 900 meters. The 240C is used to suppress and kill dismounts in the open. You don't want it to be a 50 as I may need to shoot enemy dismounts close to or on my wingman's vehicle. The 50 would also half the ammo in the ready box from 800 rounds to 400. As a Bradley crewman, I find the M242's reliability more of an issue than power or range. The links have to be perfectly aligned and dunnage needs to be monitored periodically coming out of the eject shoot or it could jam badly. Usually requires disassembly of the gun. If I'm engaging an IFV at long range, I would prefer to hit him with one of my TOW-2Bs from defilade than use my chain gun. Nothing walks away from one of those

  3.  Сергей Макеев  Sake with a Bradley. Plenty of areas can be penetrated without effect. Of course, both vehicles store high explosives in the form of HE autocannon ammo and ATGMs in the rear compartment. The BMP-3 sure isn't storing 40 rounds of 100mm HE in that turret

  5.  @russkatherealoriginal6904  What? No. The description is accurate. There is no rear door on a BMP-3. They're clamshell roof hatches. Not comparable to a Bradley at all. It's a nightmare to exit the BMP-3 and horribly cramped inside

  6. A BMPs 30mm gun can't penetrate a Brads frontal armor, but the Brads 25mm can penetrate the BMPs frontal armor.
