The heavier AMX-30 also provided a more stable platform for the guns, and allowed the system to carry much more ammunition (1,200 rounds, as compared to the 600 carried by the AMX-13 version). The guns were designed to fire in 5-round or 15-round bursts, with a cyclic rate of fire of 650 rounds per minute.
The AMX-VCI (French: Véhicule de Combat d'Infanterie) is one of the many variants of the French AMX-13 light tank. It was the front line APC of the French Army until replaced by the AMX-10P . It is still used by some countries, for example Mexico, where it goes under the name of DNC-1 and is armed with a 20mm cannon.
It was designed for a 25-ton weight class, which is nearly twice the weight of the AMX-13. Its primary armament was a 90 mm cannon, and was operated by 4 crew members. Its speed could reach 65 km/h (40 mph). Two prototypes were made before it was set aside.
