Connection to the first link is not good. Connection to the second link is a pic that reveals nothing. I'm not denigrating your sources, I'm just telling you what I see (or don't). Can you show more? And... if you don't mind my (uneducated) question: what's the purpose?

Not sure what happened there, the second one was the .jpg upload from my PC.

The Stryker Mobile Gun System (MGS) is the newest edition of the Stryker fleet. Manufactured on the same assembly line as the other Strykers, but with a little more fire power.

Things normally associated with a cannon of that caliber (105MM NATO) have been redesigned and termed something new and taken from the troves of a science fiction sequel. Turret Basket, Robotic ammunition handling system; carousel, replenisher, rammer, Auto-loader, Gun Pod, etc. Turret operates on electric motors as opposed to hydraulics.
The main gun is mounted inverted, external (gun pod) and therefore does not have a gun mantle, and components normally associated with that type of mounting system.

Looks futuristic, responds well, accurate, very accurate...
