US Army gets picky, solicits smart feed ammo system for machine guns and auto cannons

US Army gets picky, solicits smart feed ammo system for machine guns and auto cannons

War. Huh. What is it good for. Stuff like smart bullet-feeding systems, apparently. See, the US Army isn't quite satisfied with the mixed ammo feed it currently uses with weapons like the helicopter-mounted M230 chain gun. Instead, it wants its machine gunners to be able to freely switch and pick their ammo of choice — whether it be incendiary rounds or precision-guided smart bullets — to better match conditions on the field. So the Army is using another weapon in its arsenal — good, old tax dollars — to solicit proposals for a smart bullet-feeding system.
