The Bradley Fighting Vehicle

June 17, 2011 by Craig DiLouie 3 Comments

The Bradley Fighting Vehicle plays a major role in THE INFECTION, serving as a mobile fortress for the survivors. The Bradley weighs 25 tons and can drive up to speeds of 40 MPH with its 500 HP engine. It is a troop carrier, able to transport a squad of six plus the crew of three (commander, gunner and driver). It is also a tank, with the gunner operating a coax machine gun, 25 MM turret-mounted cannon, and a TOW guided missile system. It is essentially an armored box with wheels, able to drive through or over almost anything, and it’s got the big guns. There are few better places to be in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.

    I am fairly sure thats 11 seconds of firing…and looking it up a Bradley fires 200 rounda a minute at top speed. So that’s about 36 rounds to do that.

    Dude the M3A3 Bradley is one of the most reliable vehicles the US Army. The placement of this vehicle was awesome in the book

    I can remember the 1st gen of the Bradley and that it was deployed to Europe with faulty or no sights at all. Amazing that what was supposed to be a low profile, heavily armored troop transport became a tall profile, lightly armored troop transport that only carries 6 plus crew.

    Great vehicle as long as it has the applique armor on it and doesn’t toss a track.
