Hey, I only am telling you what I know.


I wasn't criticising what you said - just thinking that they couldn't
much want to hang on the gun, because if they did they could always
get more ammo.

The 25mm is going to be the standard. Eventually they plan to put them
on
the AC-130H also. The 40mm has run out of ammunition and no more is
being
purchased.

Well, 40mm L/60 ammo is still in production in various countries, so
that is hardly a strong reason for dumping the gun.
