And while the Stryker MGS has had technical problems, another reasons for it not going into production is that commanders of units with MGS attached often opted for weapons systems that caused less damage in urban areas.
Now the brits are fighting a war in afghanistan, but they're using fire support groups with a gmg/hmg for supporting their infantry battalion, and haven't found it necessary to deploy any Challengers.
if people could get along to 30mm shoot, or see the GMG and heavy machine gun combination in action, they wouldn't want 90mm
