This vehicle here is the LAV-25 that the 82nd is thinking of fielded for their Cavalry element. Which I suppose is an upgrade over HMMWVs, and still completely overmatched by the BMP-3 or BMP-4.
the Bushmaster type weapons are chain drive, and the A-10 is a Gatling. the chain gun could be chambered in 30x173 (the a-10 round). it was called the Mk44 as far as i remember. the M2/3 have a 25mm and its 25x173m the M230 on the AH-64 shoots 30x113
