By that logic, a hypothetical proximity fused 9mm explosive bullet would be a "major game-changer". When really at that point, the explosive content is too small to be useful. Now the 40mm may or may not have reached that point. But you have not presented much information that it is still...

I know what a proximity fuse is. I'm saying that the kill radius for a 40mm shell explosive content might be too fucking small to be a major improvement in lethality. The fact there isn't any timed fused or new proximity fused shells in this size is also suggestive. You declaring it is still...

But does the 40mm have enough explosive to make it worthwhile? And what of range? Is this just your personal opinion or you have other sources? Navweaps list .25 pounds explosive for the HEI round and these guns were meant as hit to kill so I'm little skeptical of your claim that they're a game...

I'm skeptical it is that much of a difference considering how deadly they already are and that they don't seem widespread. And a 40mm shell would have fragments that would be as deadly. And AHEAD doesnt appear to be a proximity fuse, but a anti missile round that uses a canister like design.

I'm pretty sure he is? That aside, the US Army did basically abandoned SHORAD after the Cold War, hence the sudden drive to replace that capability as seen in articles like this one. There might of been some older Avenger in limited numbers still, but is something I feel is really limited by the...

Roland entered French service in 1977, the same year that Americans got them so not exactly something I consider mature yet. Nor is it a medium range missile, its a SHORAD missile like Rapier or Chapparel.
