I went to save that gorgeous image of the LAV-75 with the bug gun and unmanned turret and discovered that I already had it. How could I have forgotten such a thing? It's like forgetting that I found $100 in my jacket pocket.
I'm less concerned with what the current name of such as thing is as what it does on the battlefield. A favorite author of mine once pointed out that anyone can call a light truck with an ATGM a tank destroyer, but whether it fits the general specifications of the terminology is another matter. I imagine the Ridgway as combining anti-armor fire and direct fires in support of troops. Is "gun system" a catch-all for these functions?
