In that cannon is armed Polish wheeeled APC "Rosomak"

I believe so.

I know that the Rosomak's cannon fires the same 30x173mm NATO round as the Bushmaster Mk44 cannon, but it might be a different cannon. It might be a Mauser cannon, I'm not sure.

No... It is Bushmaster Mk44 cannon. Check it

looks great, but at this point, i would still prefer to take an AAV7 into combat over the EFV. when they get to the second production model things may be different however. in any case, i am very glad i am getting out before they hit the fleet. i would sure as hell not want to have to fix one of them.....over a mile of hydro line alone......

I realize that the A10 uses a gattling gun but I think it fires the same ammo.

I think the EFV might use traditional primed rounds, where the A-10's GAU gun uses electrically primed munitions.

Same round, different primer.
I think.

That is a very effective gun against all but maybe an M1 Abrams, Leopard II or the Challenger II, except maybe a mobility kill on the drive train or engine. Isn't this the same gun as in the A 10 Thunderbolt II? Nothing we would face on a battlefield would be safe. Once the bugs are worked out on the EFV, it will be something to behold. Thanks for the terrific posting!

I am a Japanese.
There is not confidence whether I become the English properly, but comments in English.

30mm gun looks outwardly seem to be no power, but there is good power in the battle vehicle inside. When I totally know power of 30mm gun like bunker-buster, thank you for a significant picture! !

It's obvious you used a translator for that.

But I understand what you're trying to say.

good try!
30mm gun looks weak on the outside, but it shows well on the inside. (?)This gun is powerful, like a bunkewr buster, thanks for the insight!
