LAV-25 Shoot

Adams firing the LAV-25's main gun; the M242 Bushmaster 25mm Chain gun. Each HE shell has the kill radius of a fragmentation grenade and is accurate beyond 2Km.
The LAV-25 is a reconnaissance vehicle, used by Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalions of the USMC. Designed for use in Europe for deep reconnaissance against a Soviet enemy, the Bushmaster is designed to combat BMPs, BTRs, and other light armored vehicles. However, it does a number on unarmed vehicles such as cars and trucks and is devastating against dismounted targets.
This was filmed on a range in Kuwait. Here we are shooting at old car hulls and cardboard silhouettes. Needless to say, there wasn't much to look at afterward.

[@DR-ru9cx]

Kinda hot in these rhinos... WARM!

[@saibot20194]

there's no air contiditioning on a LAV-25??

[@nathansmith6856]

there is, but it takes too much of the engines power to run it

[@calebfunk715]

No, no there is not Just a heater that only works in the summer.

[@WavyThing]

Lol the "air conditioning" is just fans blowing outside air into the vehicle lol

[@Hairysteed]

Does the LAV-25:s fire control automatically compensate lead, or does the gunner have to estimate lead like with the Bradley?

[@ISinisterI]

does it get that hot in there? does it have a cooling system? cupholder?

[@rayn2913]

12 year old comment but you can see the gunner literally drenched in sweat. there are AC/heaters in all american vehicles, it just never works since it is not a necessity and is rarely repaired, the only AC that is repaired is the AC designed to cool certain parts of the vehicle such as engine or fuel

[@Pavzzz2503]

@@rayn2913so there are no ac in the crew compartment, only in the engine compartment? just to be clear

[@THE_ICON_OF_SIN]

@Hairysteed The ITSS has auto lead and provides ballistic solutions. With the cross wind sensor the ITSS does basically everything, all you do is shoot.

[@Hairysteed]

@topher81807 Yeah, but the ITSS is an upgrade, right?

[@ISinisterI]

@FatalTracerBurn that is fuckin outrageous, a soldier should be able to blow up others or be blown up in comfort!

[@WavyThing]

Marine

[@nodstaks5681]

what's that sound in the background? power plant or air conditioning?

[@xaviergraham7411]

nods taks it’s the turret gas vent that activates when the 25 fires

[@THE_ICON_OF_SIN]

@Hairysteed To the LAV25 A2 yes.

[@NitrogenPurged]

sweet

[@dingyizhang7929]

Yeah

[@Buditokid]

BEAUTIFUL

[@combatarmsvicio]

wow!

[@macieksoft]

Line above range digits means multiple laser rangefinder returns like in M1 abrams? And what is this number at the top that shows 1242?

[@FatalTracerBurn]

@ISinisterI Nope. None of the above. I was actually the guy in the gunner seat shooting and it was so F-ING hot... It was about 130 outside and who knows how hot inside. Good old USMC with shitty equipment. Go figure.

[@WavyThing]

Still shitty today
