That's one of Russia's more modern tanks.

Bradley's aren't even made for fighting tanks.

Is that some sort of machine gun with glowing rounds?

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yes, it's a 25mm autocannon with tracer rounds.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, I was thinking that 3 rounds/second was quite slow for a machine gun

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M242_Bushmaster Might just be 3/sec but high explosive Listed as 200rpm which is roughly that in one config. Effective range at almost 2 miles. Wowzers

What's the typical ratio of regular rounds to tracers?

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Those are probably all high-explosive tracer rounds.
