Before
settling on a 30mm Bushmaster, the CM32 Clouded Leopard was originally going to be fitted with a 20mm revolver cannon, a derivative of the M39 used on F-5 Freedom-Fighter/Tiger, in
a turreted format.
The idea to compensate for having such a small cannon for an IFV was to expand upon ROCN's order of Mk 244-0 APDS ammunition (alongside the Phalanx Block 1B systems) to include ROCAs' requirement to feed the CM-32 IFVs.
Isn't the USAF also testing a new ammunition as a resplacement for the PGU-28/B?
The 20mm PELE information brochure paints a seemingly-impressive picture (at least to my untrained eyes anyway).
Can anyone offer a rough idea on how Mk 244-0 would have performed against land targets? Does it have any advantage against light armours over the versatility of PELE?
