After I last posted I went off and did a bit of note checking, and the only real advantage of 105mm is that you can get effective "payload" like AP, Flare, and Smoke, but that's about it. Flare isn't much good unless you have high trajectory, so all in all a 120mm mortar turret system seems to be optimum choice if you want something heavier than 90mm. - but I see the doctrinal conflict of having mortars in DIRECT support.
a.) MRAPs are probably what Stryker should have been, given a bit of lateral thinking.
B.) Correct me if I am wrong, but there is no such vehicle as the Gavin.
