RAVEN Cannons - Future Tank Weaponry

RAVEN (Rarefaction Wave Gun) cannons are pretty obscure. They've seen some pretty limited development in past few decades, but they seem somewhat promising as weapons for light tanks and armored vehicles. If I had to explain them really simply, they're basically spicy recoilless rifles. Will future tanks use them as main guns? I honestly have no idea.
I tried to slow down while talking for this one, hopefully I'm easier to understand.

I tried to slow my voice down a bit for this one, so hopefully I'm a bit easier to understand. If you have any constructive criticism I'd be glad to hear it.

Here's the new acronym: RAWAG.

Called it, the Rarefaction Wave Gun

Good music choice, hail the omnissiah

One of the major differences between more traditional recoilless systems and these RAVEN systems is the weight. Recoilless guns can get away with being made lighter because a significant portion of the expansion stress is negated by the open vent. This in turn allows the weapons to be mounted on lighter platforms or carried by infantry. The RAVEN weapons breech and barrel need to be sturdy enough to withstand the entirety of the expansion pressure, and do so until the system cycles enough to open the vents. This leaves these components needing to be almost as resilient as more traditional cannons, which in turn leaves them weighing a comparable amount.

Praise the Omnissiah.

The Karl Gustiave recoiless rifle has seen a resurgence in recent years and many countries are adopting it again including some US ground forces. It's being used more for it's battle field utility than for any kind of anti vehicle role though stuff like laying down smoke, launching flairs, hiting soft targets like buildings or walls with HE rounds, things like that.

I’m curious to how you have so much knowledge about tanks and tank like systems, no offense I just find it fascinating

This music choice pleases The Omnisiah

"Armor is overrated" you say as a King Tiger's eats 5 of your M50's rounds.
