The Abrams with a GAU-8 30mm gatling gun (like we have on the A-10) made its appearance in this 2004 FR thread. Bottom line, it's too long and big to fit on a turret and still work.

You CAN get a 30mm Bushmaster cannon on an Abrams (or a Stryker) that fires the same ammo at a lower rate. You can also get a GAU-19 .50 cal gatling gun on there.

I would like to see a Stryker with two or three internally-operated guns, like maybe a Bushmaster, a grenade launcher, and a gatling gun.

For the weight, one would expect something a little heavier armed than just a remote weapons station. Heck, the Army could just rip off seek inspiration from the BMP-3 that weighs about 20 tons less.

Let's see - the Russians managed to fit in a 100mm gun/anti-tank missle launcher, a co-axial 30mm automatic cannon, and three machine guns.

i like the idea of four tracks so losing one doesn't put it out of commission, the guns can vary as to what works best, the striker on the other hand, should stick with wheels and with multi-gun systems maybe like the pic above
