So why is Murdoc seeing so many search engine hits on this photo of a USMC Assault Breacher Vehicle firing a line charge?
A commenter tips Murdoc off to this story: Marines push ‘The Breacher’ against Taliban lines

Perhaps because this AP article ran today, without a picture, and was picked up by many other news agencies including Army Times?

Digg picked it up as well.
Well, for one thing, the M1 ABV turned-out better than the M1 Grizzly.
…and the M1A2 SEP…
…and the M1 Liberty Self-Propelled SAM…
…and the M1 AGDS Self-Propelled AA Gun…
…and the M1-based Self-Propelled Howitzer…
…and the M1 Panther…
…and the M1 ARV…
…and the *would-be* M1A3 with a 140mm gun.
In other words, removing the main gun is a signifier of success.

So it’s pretty much just a MICLIC… I think we pieced together all 4 the BN had once and cobbled together a working one once.

The challenge was getting a functional rocket for the practice ones.
