Surprised you didn't say anything about the rather cool special M231 Port Firing Weapons the Bradley's originally had in their first incarnation 🙂 basically a kind of unique fast-firing sub-machinegun made out of the skeleton of an AR15, and designed specifically to fire tracer and with a considerable rate of fire, and screwed into special round pintle-mounts in the sides of the Bradley's hull; no sights or stocks either as they were only supposed to stay attached to the Bradley and not be removed, and to be aimed using the stream of tracer rounds itself rather than sights. They were intended both to give the infantry riding inside something to shoot while still in there, and to provide an extra means of defence for the vehicle itself from ambushes by enemy infantry. They were soon removed however as it was felt improving the Bradley's side protection with armour side-skirts was of much greater importance. Suspect they were actually part of the inspiration for the "Chimera" AFV from Warhammer 40,000
