Yeah, it wasn't ideal for means of it mission. Now for an Anti-Tank company it wouldn't be quite as ideal as the M901, but if they are used in ambush setting where they don't have dismounted spread out, they can fire, then pull back to position where they can reload. Still have 25mm auto cannon and coax MG for protection.
