If you opened up on this with a 50 cal machine gun, would the crew survive?

Yes

yes, but if you fired at it with anything more powerful than 14.5mm they wouldn't.

it would be extremely painful

what's the armor like? MRAP's are pierced by a .50

None of your concern, Ahmed

It's fitted with ceramic tiles that are rated level IV in STANAG 4569, which means 360 degree protection against 14.5mm AP rounds. One guy on some forum claimed that without the ceramics it's level 2A which is only rated against 7.62x39 API but I couldn't find an actual source for that

officially, without upgrades, it has 14.5mm protection on the front, and 7.62x51mm protection on all sides

Small arms and machine guns have no value against armored targets. You make yourself a target for them.

>If you opened up on this with a 50 cal machine gun, would the crew survive?

If you can get to the side of the vehicle and take out all the wheels there, the crew won't survive after they bail.

Gimme a HMMWV with SLAP and I'll penetrate the slut.

I play Arma too user

A single .50 to that gun turret will render it completely harmless

you would probably want to destroy the turret first, then take apart the wheels, then work on the hull once the thing is (hopefully) immobilized

at close range, I would expect the thing to eventually be taken apart by 100-200 rounds

STANAG 4, (14.5mm AP)

>at close range, I would expect the thing to eventually be taken apart by 100-200 rounds
You'd be much better off trying to isolate and immobilize it. If you can do that, slap a cheap shape charge or some thermite on it and be done with it.

At close range, I expect that MG gunner to be atomized by the other 14 vehicles of the company before 20 rounds has left the barrel.

Nope. Why do you think the US had start a crash program for the Cougar and Maxxpro etc. etc.

The Stryker is an overrated, expensive piece of shit. The cougar can do everything it can do better and costs $650k as opposed to 4.9 million each.

Mutts can't handle this though so expect rampant shitposting.

As you were educated the last time you brought it up, MaxxPro and Cougar supplanted Humvees.

All I remember is stryker shills publicly shitting their pants and being humiliated.

>I have no fucking clue what I speak about: The post, episode II, return of the retard

Pretty sure you are just baiting at this point tho.

The problem is that a couple other vehicles will be overwatching at all times, and they'll have acoustic sniper detection, thermals, and stabilized RWS too.

So the hit vehicle pops their smoke launchers, displaces, then keeps advancing, while everyone else hoses down your hideyhole with 100-200 rounds and some HE.

>why are you discussing the thread subject!
>haha epic pol meme xd am i cool now guise?
Kill yourself

Thats fucking pathetic. Up the weight about 10 tons and you could get all around immunity to 20mm.

Looks more like an innocent joke than a meme to me but ok

It depends.
If from up close (less than 1000 yards) with Mk 211 rounds, the crew would either die (if in the direct path of the bullet) or severely wounded by the pyriphoric effect if the thing is shot from the sides while using anything beloew STANAG 4.5 (does'nt officially exists but is used by some forces as something between 4 and 5.).

>EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME IS RUSSIAN
Wew, lad. You work for CNN or something?

Living rent free in your head.

>s 14.5mm protection on the front, and 7.62x51mm protection on all sides

Seriously why does it need more protection up front than on the sides holy shit.

No it doesn't have airless tires so lighting them up will disable it

>but runflats
Are garbage and meant for 1 round. Shows how much they care when they didn't even armor skirt the easily disabled wheels.

Btw lmao, it can only take 7.62x51 to the sides? Coffin on wheels

Thats standard for pretty much all APCs of its weight class user.

Except for the newest 25+ ton beasts like the AMV/Boxer etc not many APCs can take more then that to the side.

That’s not pol meme you retard, he was simply making a joke about you asking for military specifications on a military vehicle that could in fact cost lives

You do realize that in this case that applies to you right? He is replying to something you brought up. Nonwhites are literally living rentfree in your head lol

Its literally the thread topic

Yes and he made a joke and you autisticly responded, he would’ve said “none of your concern *insert nationality here*” if we were at war with those, but were not. The US is at war with with a bunch of achmeds so he decided to joke that you were attempting to damage the MRAPs.

I havent heard about any incidents where this has been an issue tho.

But then it doesn't work for its primary role: air mobility

It was designed in an era before all conflicts were COIN ops and it was expected to roll head on towards another large uniformed military along a defined front.

Like, holy shit, are you seriously incapable of even reading the wikipedia page?

>Like, holy shit, are you seriously incapable of even reading the wikipedia page?

Not denying that the idea of combat was basically the same, but wasnt the Stryker programe initiated like 7 years after the USSR fell and WW3 looked less liekly then ever?

Strykers are STANAG 4 on the sides.

Crew might survive if lucky, but the vehicle wouldn't

Blowing a tire off an 8x8 does not disable them.

Isnt that only the upgraded ones? (Not that I thinkg any original 2001 variant is still in use)

So living rentfree in your head, got it
Im not that guy btw

You appear to be confusing air moble and air droppable.

The proliferation of NATO 8x8 like Strykers are a result of the Yugoslav wars.

Yeah, wich basically was COIN for most of the time.

Strykers have always been STANAG 4 on the front and sides with their standard armor, not including further uparmoring like slat or ERA.

Hmm, perhaps Im thinking about the LAVs they are based of then.
