1900-Present

Cannon: M242 Bushmaster

Design:



Materials: I couldnt find much about how it's made or what it's made of, but I would assume some sort of lightweight metal like titanium. It consists of three parts, a barrel assembly, a feeder assembly, and a reciever assembly.

Ammunition: A wide range of ammunition has been made for the Bushmaster. It is capable of taking out tanks and other vehicles. All of the ammunition developed for it are tracers, which means they burn brightly and go slow at first making them easily visible. This allows the shooter to correct his shots if they are off target. They are also highly explosive and piercing so they can take out armoured vehicles easily.

Trajectories and Accuracy: The slowness and brightness of the ammunition allows the shooter to change his trajectory if it is wrong. My guess is that with a stronger gun and lighter ammunition, the shooters for the Bushmaster can aim lower with only a small paravola formed in the process.

Economic Role: The Bushmasters are very expensive, but they are worth it. If it's a 10,000 dollar piece of equipment (which is just an estimate) that can destroy a 50,000 dollar piece of equipment, you are absolutely getting your money's worth.

  1. You included everything that's needed, so that's good. Try to be a bit more professional in a way. Try to make it seem like you know what you're talking about, without saying "I don't really know..." or adding "I".

  2. "I dont Know" is not a good thing to say at all when you are writing an informational blog. All of the information is there but that is the best thing I can say about this blog. You also dont want to say probably.
