Exclamation IFV gun and ammo research

This is a little project for those of you who like to dig up information

We are in the process of reviewing ammo loadouts for IFV armed with autocannons between 20mm and 40mm. If we have some help with this the process might even be completed for this next release

We need the Rate Of Fire for the main gun and the ammo carried by the vehicle. If there is a range of ROF we could use that. I have seen info that suggests weapon "X" may be capable of 500 RPM but 200-300 is more typical. We need both numbers and would use the high "typical" range

Ammo carried would be the total ammo load that vehicle can carry both ready and stored.

Anyone is welcome to contribute BUT we REQUIRE two sources for that info and neither of them can be WIKIPEDIA. If you can only find one that's OK but let us know it was hard to find and maybe someone else can provide further info

We already have found good data for the Bradley M2 and M3 series as well as the Marder and the Warrior. We are still up to our ears in other work so this seemed a good time to go to the forum.

To recap

We need the Vehicle, it's main weapon and it's ROF and the total amount of that ammo type carried by the vehicle. ( so we don't need to know how much 7.62 ammo it carries )

Thanks

Don
