Warthog didn't say it was a MAG, he just said it was 7.62, which the chain gun is.....

indeed,the co-ax on the warrior is a 7.62 chaingun which seemed to jam alot,so they would return fire using minimi's from the mortar hatches or the commanders hatch,this seems really dangerous to me,and the ability to use a RWS would be great for quickly engaging the enemy to the rear or if they tried to outflank the patrol from the sides without having to traverse the turret,also if the gunner was manning the co-ax the commander could use the RWS so they could engage two targets at once,
i've seen these fitted to HMMV'S and other soft tops,surely if they could take the weight then a scorpion could?
is the 90mm turret any bigger than the one for the 76mm?

Just to see if dieselisation would work.There isn't the money or the will from higher ranks to upgrade the fleet.This upgrade was sort of on the sly at first I'm led to believe.There is no point just doing engines but there is no money to do engine and turret.
I heard a quote from a few years back of €6mil to upgrade whole fleet,engine,turret,the whole lot.€3mil of that was for optics.
