Why didn't they give the M113 a 20mm cannon?

Would make it too heavy for BB-launched glider operations.

Ask the Israelis how well it goes when you use an m113 in a city.

20mm Cannons are silly. Cannon should atleast be capable of killing/disabling either a tank or a helicopter. Anything less and you may as well just get a .50.

I guess you have never been in MT-LB. It is cramped as fuck and probably more dangerous to it's passengers than M113 or any western APC/IFV.

>battleshipfag, which is not a single person, but a consortium of hivemind faggots.

Sparky is one of those battleshipfag or at least their inspiration.

Dutch have already retired it and Belgians are currently replacing it with Piranha III. Both have sold fuckloads of vehicles to Chile and all sorts of dune coons.

The better question is why they didn't give the Bradley a 30mm cannon. Or even 40mm perhaps.
