Observations of zeroing with the 25-mm gun of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) indicated excessive ammunition expenditure. Analysis of fielded boresight equipment indicated that 25-mm boresight adapters were generally less accurate than boresight telescopes; however, some telescopes were extremely inaccurate. Data indicated that telescope accuracy decreases with equipment use and abuse. Much inaccurate equipment was not designated for repair or replacement; lack of fielded accuracy standards for either the 25-mm adapter or the 25-mm kit may contribute to this undesirable situation.
