M2 Bradley

The M2 Bradley is the main Infantry Fighting Vehicle of the United States Army.

Assessment
The M2 Bradley, or Bradley IFV, is an American infantry fighting vehicle manufactured by BAE Systems Land and Armaments, formerly United Defense as part of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle family.

As with other infantry fighting vehicles, the Bradley is designed to transport infantry with armor protection while providing covering fire to suppress enemy troops and armored vehicles. The M2 can hold a crew of three: a commander, a gunner and a driver; as well as six fully equipped soldiers.

The M2 Bradley is unique in having a total of 5 onboard weapons. Aside from the M252 chain gun, the M240C coaxial machine gun and the BGM-71 TOW ATGM the M2 Bradley is also equipped with 2 M231 Firing Port Weapons in which 2 passengers can use one of them to engage enemies from the rear of the Bradley. Despite lacking ironsights as well as only holding 30 rounds per magazine these are compensated due to the fact that all rounds fired from the M231 FPW are tracers as well as being able to reload as fast as if you were reloading an M4.
