Shouldn't be too hard, since most mountings these days are set up to take either a fifty or a 19, so those could be modified I am sure... question is, can you swap the feed to the other direction? If you can, nothing stopping you from mounting four.


After all, the Israeli's pulled the four fifties off and swapped them with a pair of 20mm cannons, so it can be modified easy enough.

The big problem is the different ballistics of the two weapons. The 40mm flies much slower than the .50 cal so needs a greater elevation for the same range. Unless firing at very close range (a hundred metres or so) chances are you'll end up with either the .50 hitting the clouds, or 40mm dropping on your toes (so to speak).
The easiest "fix" is to simply fire one or the other and not both simultaneously.

Unless you swap all four, which would be just outright cool.

40mm would be a disappointment.

The standard ammo can went from 48 to 32 rounds.

2212 meters max effective range for the 40mm that could be done better in 25mm if you going with a vehicle mount.

i wonder if you could mount an abrahm turret on a 113 without crushing the old reliable beer can?

Forget the Abrams Turret. Put a gun turret from the Missouri with the 16" guns on the 113!

Paul, Paul, Paul. You gotta think bigger man! One of Bull's super guns mounted on an 8x8 grid of 113s. That's the way to go.
