Australian Bushranger contenders undergo live firing trials

Article Abstract:

The Australian Army's Project Bushranger proceeds following two live tests of two infantry mobility vehicles (IMV) designs. The tests involved firing various infantry weapons from inside each IMV, and through roof hatches and gun rings. The vehicles tested were the four-by-four Bushmaster IMV from Australian Defence Industries and the four-by-four Taipan IMV from Australian Specialised Vehicle Systems. The F89 Minimi 5.56mm light support weapon and F88 Austeyr 5.56mm assault rifle were fired from three positions from inside the vehicles, while the M79 40mm grenade launcher and MAG-58 7.62 general-purpose machine gun were fired from roof hatches and gun rings, respectively.
