Seems strange. You use a smg so that you have good manoeuvrability and then put so much shit on it. You could have just picked a carbine.

I could see some plus compared to the M4. (Although the M4 is more versatile).
Its lighter and I heard the bullit velocity is higher as the on of an m4. (mondingssnelheid).
It should penetrate every vest within 200 meters, so they say.
Also the caliber is better then 9mm like alot of smg's use. For CQB it should be a fine weapon i geuse.

Its pretty much like the FN P90. Up to 200m, that thing will penetrate almost any kevlar vest

YPR PRI.

Dutch army is in the process of replacing them with CV9035 and Boxer MRAV. It's a shame to see them go though.

Just like in Belgium.....all the good equipment gets phased out, or is phased out, yet we see no replacements.

But the CV90 is a nice replacement :)



Here a swedish CV9040

I as an Ex-YPR-PRI driver can tell you....you guys are nuts.
YPR is a fine vehicle, but needs very very very veryyyyyyy much maintenance.
They served well, but the Cv90 is in most aspects so much better.
YPR's are old, they brake down very often, just becouse they served there time.
I once drove from DW to TK, and they broke down 6 times.. wich twice was mine.
(first my track ran off cose of a broken roadwheel, and second time my whole engine needed to be replaced.)

*Turret :D

We have well over 2000 of these APC's active, they're known as ACV-300 in Turkish service though. But the Army has a tender to replace them, the tender is for somewhere around 4,000 new APC's, basically doubling the fleet, replacement is either Otokar Arma or FNSS Pars.

We Belgians had AIFV-B types wich we produced locally. I spoke to an ex-driver before, he kinda liked the vehicle. The most problems he had where mainly the tracks, roadwheels and suspension. They needed regular maintance or else :/  you drove them aswel, you should now it  ;)

I wil give you some more - points:
-the side and back armor can be penitrated by an AK-47 or PKM with armor pearcing rounds.
-The enginefilters fill up with dust en sand in no time. you have to clean them when you stop.
(note this isnt that easy as it sounds)
-the suspension and roadwheels are just breaking down of aging.
-the bottom of the vehicle is a dead trap for mines
+the 25mm gun with canadian ammo works damn well in Uruzgan.
+we have so manny that we do have allot of spair parts.

And mate beleave me there is a diference between regular maintance and every single spare hour of the day.
We (the gunner and I) where constantly doing maintance while the rest was sleeping, witch ended up in us getting almost no sleep.

But good thing some arabic country bought all of our old ypr's.
