>>63941270they dont have a .50 coax they have an FN MAG 7.62 mm coax its their only other weapon. in routine guard duty the 60mm mortar only has smoke rounds in it.
they can mount an M2 on top of the gun buy iirc this is intended for long range warfare, shooting far away ATGM teams. they dont mount those on guard duty or in the tanks sent to gaza.
>>63941309idk ive seen video of it firing in the golan and viability was fine. but this is an area with lots of fine soft sand.

eventually all the tanks in the area just ran out of ammo, ran over a dozen terrorists some retreated while others dismounted and fought on foot. the outpost was retaken by naval special forces that arrived 6h later (pic related)
the outpost killed 65 terrorists losing 13 defenders and the civilians in the kibutz next to it + police swat that arrived later killed 35 terrorists losing 3 defenders.
