During live-fire demo here, Soldiers shot the Heckler & Koch-made XM-25’s high-explosive rounds through the window of a simulated building, showering “enemy” mannequins inside with lethal metal fragments.
Maksab ca. 250 000 EEK. Arvestades, et praegu kasutatakse samal otstarbel Javeline ja Hellfire raktte, siis on tegu kõva kokkuhoiuga.kaur3 kirjutas:http://defensetech.org/2010/05/06/army- ... ghanistan/Officials announced May 5 that a group of Army Special Forces Soldiers will take the weapon with them to Afghanistan sometime this summer.

Mnjaaa. See range on üsna seal piiri peal. Eesti kontekstis on huvitav teema see, et kas taolisele torule ka HEAT moon tekib. Pmst peaks BMP-1,2,3-st 25mm HEAT ilusti läbi võtma. Kusjuures HEAT-i pluss on see, et sulapronks teeb masina sees palju kurja.Range: 500 m point, 700 m area.

Christopher Shupe, who recently returned from a combat tour in Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain Division
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/12 ... more-37111Last month, the Army sent about 800 prototypes of its cover-destroying computerized grenade launcher to Afghanistan. Now, it says, by 2014, it expects to assign one to every infantry squad and Special Forces team.
The XM-25 has fired 55 rounds in nine firefights between Dec. 3 and January 12, when the formal Forward Operational Assessment ended. Officials say the weapon “disrupted” two insurgent attacks against an observation post, destroying one PKM machine gun position in one of those attacks. That is where the ”usually our engagements last for 15-20 minutes. With the XM-25 they’re over in a few minutes” line came from.
http://kitup.military.com/2011/02/insid ... #more-2952Contrary to what we’d heard on Thursday, both Conley and Smith said Soldiers usually carried the XM-25 as their primary weapon when on patrol with no personal weapon at all. Typically on patrol, the XM-25 gunner is used for overwatch, so he’s not kicking in a door or searching a qalat.
Kildude algkiirus on üldiselt suurusjärgus 1000 - 1500 m/s. See küll varieerub, sõltuvalt mitmetest asjaolusedt.Gideonic kirjutas: Sellegipoolest, ega keegi ei oska öelda suurusjärku, mis kiirusega need killud liikuda võiksid ?
http://kitup.military.com/2011/02/army- ... -plan.htmlore interestingly, the Army outlines its plan over the next five years to by more XM-25s: 40 weapons in 2013 for $34 million; 1,028 weapons in 2014 for $70.3 million; 1,337 weapons in 2015 for $70.3 million; and 1,656 weapons in 2016 for $70.2 million.
So the Army is dead serious and devoting $216 million over the next five years to field over 4,000 XM-25s. We’ll keep a very close eye on this as the budget filters through the Tea Partiers and defense budget cutters of Capitol Hill to see if the nearly quarter billion dollars for the Punisher stays in.
