[edit] Service History

As the US forces have fought a number of wars since the Bradley entered service , is there any infomation about service use ? Jim Sweeney (talk) 07:18, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I personnally have not seen any. While I believe the weapon is still issue, the restriction of usable ports and its debatable utility when detached from the vehicle have no doubt restricted its use even in time of conflict. Of course this is all speculation in of itself, but the only descriptions of its service use that I have heard or read have been purely anecdotal. It would be helpful if a manual or supplement mentioning it could be found in which one might get a better sense of its intended employment. -- Thatguy96 (talk) 19:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
