>Note that APFSDS can only be fired from a gun that is too heavy to carry on anything OTHER than an MBT. Bradleys, Strykers, BTRs, BMPs, etc just can't take the weight/recoil. What about the M1128 Stryker variant? Wikipedia tells me it's being retired, but as far as I can tell it mounts a full sized tank cannon (same as the original M1) and is not being retired due to problems with the gun per se. I certainly wouldn't call it a tank. I'm a decade out of the Army and I only know anything about Strykers because I saw them around post. I never served in a Stryker unit. That said, it seems like the M1128 is a direct contradiction to this fairly central premise in your post.
