Can a fellow member provide photos and information on this turret.
It's the turret found on AAV-7s and M-1117s.

All I could found is that it was made by AV Technology, now part of General Dynamics(?).

I found info on an evolved one called AV-30 on that Gavin-maniac web page.

What I want it's technical specs and photos of it instaled on vehicles other than the mentioned above.

Any help will be welcomed.

Thank you

Cadillac Gage (now part of Textron) made the initial production run of those turrets, if that helps. I know the Spanish use it on some vehicles.

Herre are pics on the ASV: http://www.gizmag.com/go/4277/picture/12844/

imagine these on every hummer!- huge fire power but i guess too much weight up top.
