OICW Airburst 25mm almost ready for primetime
« on: September 25, 2008, 10:51:17 PM »
Defensetech.org/military.com are reporting that US Army is about to start testing REAL prototypes for the long developed 25mm airburst weapon from the OICW program. Would have been great news if it had happened five years ago. The full article was posted this morning(26SEP) here is the link.

It says that it could actually see limited field testing in March of next year.

There was also 40mm airburst ammo made for the M203. We don't have to wait for the OICW that may never be be adopted.
