This Might Be Better Than A Flying Car, Especially In Traffic

US Army's next-gen combat vehicle adds autonomy, 50 mm cannon power

At the center of the XM30's capabilities is an unmanned turret equipped with a 50 mm XM913 Bushmaster autocannon. This weapon offers greater range and firepower than the 25 mm cannon on the Bradley, improving effectiveness against modern armored threats.

The unmanned turret allows the vehicle to operate with a two-person crew. Both crew members remain inside the hull, enhancing protection by removing the need for a traditional manned turret position.

Here's the video! Yes, it's an advertisement, but it looks like just the thing for commuting into our blue cities.

I saw a video of one of our Bradleys we gave to Ukraine absolutely knocking the snot out of a Russian tank. And the Bradley carries a 25mm gun.

A 5mm chain gun will be a game changer...maybe.
