Possible Resurrection
The rise of MOUT tactics in the early 2000s led to the possible resurrection of the XM214 system in a tank/APC CIWS role. General Dynamics, who held the license for the Microgun, increased the ROF to 12,000 rpm and offered the weapon mounted on armored fighting vehicles as anti-RPG or anti-ATGM defense.
As of ca. 2011, the XM214 has been dropped from the General Dynamics catalogue and replaced by the Iron Fist Active Protective System (APS).
