I do miss the days when a tank had HEP and Beehive rounds. Just to keep the crunchies entertained!
Those days may be back: while I never got to shoot one, a few canister rounds filtered out our way. 1400 1/4“ tungsten pellets.

As far as stowage what we wound up doing was attaching 4 40mm cans to our bustle for POL and what have you, not to mention a bustle rack extension next to the APU sized just right for four duffles. Took forever to load us up as the entire troop was packrats.
