Does anybody know what an average rate of fire of the main gun is for manual loading MBTs, i.e. M1A2, Leopard I, Leopard II, etc...
 
It all depends on the guy loading the rounds.. I am a small person, and I know I can empty the 13 round ready rack on a Leo C2 in quite a short time..you also have to take into account whether or not the gunner acheives a hit or has to apply corrections.. but I would go on about one round loaded every 5-7 seconds.. slowing down after a dozen or so...
Once I have a round up the spout, I hit the loaded button, and am reaching down for the next before the shot is off.. as the breach ejects the round, I move it out of the way with one hand then load the next round. Pretty quick process.. drop by the armour school sometime, and I‘ll gladly give you a shot at it..

Bzz
