A few rule questions

[Rastamann]

I recently bought BEvo: Modern Combat and came to the following:

Elevated Firing Positions - the rulebook doesn't state the exact effect of this rule. Can anyone help out?

US Army M4 Rifle - There are no stats for this weapon. Is it the same as an M16A4?

L44 and L55 Rheinmetal 120mm Gun - are there no stat differences between these 2 cannons?

Thanks for any help

if you're in elevated firing positions an armoured vehicle has an additional -1 to its' armour save. It should be listed in the Advanced rules section

I believe there's no difference between the M16A4 and M4 - most assault rifles are identical.

I'm not sure on the L44 and L55 guns. What tanks mount them?

 

[Rastamann]

The L44 is mounted by the M1A2; whereas the L55 is mounted by the latest European tanks (Challenger 2 and Leopard 2A6) - theoretically, even though they're the same caliber (120mm) the L55 is a bit longer, and so there should be some difference, but there isn't. I was simply wondering whether this was typo or a design decision

L44 used on M1A2 uses DU ammo, while the L55 used on European designs does not (Brits plan to stop using DU after switching to it to appease the eco-crazies, Germans didn't use DU at all). The tungsten sabots used in L55 and DU sabots on L44 have roughly the same effect on enemy armor.

I didn't know about the DU issues!

Thank you both.
