25-mm Cartridges
25mm ammunition provides the firepower necessary to meet a variety of applications for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the LAV,
other infantry fighting vehicles, and air defense platforms
(equipped with the McDonnell Douglas M242 chain gun, the
Oerlikon KBA B02B1 weapon system, or any other
NATO-qualified 25mm weapon system). Other derivatives of the
Bushmaster 25mm family, such as the PGU series of cartridges,
are used in the AV-8B Harrier (PGU-25 HEI) and in the
AC-130 Gunship (PGU-38 HEI).
